As lawyers, a bulk of your knowledge comes from what you learn from school. Experience as an associate in an established law firm will also be beneficial for your skills development. Such experience can also help you realize what field of law to focus on if you haven't settled on one yet. But sometimes, working for bigger law firms means losing control of your own time. You might not have the liberty or authority to improve the firm's operations either.
All these problems may lead you to want to start your own practice. But, how can you start a practice right after school and passing the bar? After all, law school doesn’t teach the business side of running a law firm.
In this episode, Moshe Amsel is joined by Chris Guymon, a family law lawyer who built a successful practice right after law school. They discuss everything about building a practice — from determining which field of law to focus on to streamlining your operations. Chris also talks about how he manages his firm while continuing to be a dedicated family man.
Tune in to this episode if you’re thinking of building your own practice or improving it!
