This happens more than you know. In the process of planning for a solo practice, building their web presence, letting people know they are going solo, the lawyer gets a job offer she simply can’t decline. Unusual? Not at all. I’ll explain. When you embark on starting a solo practice you are consciously reframing your own attitude about what […]
Last month I attended a new type of conference created by Lee Burgess and Alison Monahan called Catapult2013. I have to admit I originally agreed to be a speaker because I hadn’t been to San Francisco in decades and it was a good excuse to see an old college friend. I’d lost faith in conferences a long time […]
In an increasingly global marketplace, legal professionals possessing bilingual abilities are more and more in demand, as law firms are looking to meet the needs of their customers.

Real Lawyers (Required bar passage, full-time, long-term) “Advantaged” Non-Lawyers (JD advantage, full-time, long-term) The Professionals (Professional, full-time, long-term) Career Baristas (Non-professional, full-time, […]
Years ago I visited a small law firm that was part of an office share arrangement located in Chicago’s Loop. Now I understood that the cost of maintaining an office in the Loop would be prohibitively expensive for many solo and small firms so this was no surprise. What did take me off guard was […]
I’ve been following people online for more than eight years and blogging myself close to six years. In that time I’ve watched many online acquaintances (and some true friends) run the gauntlet. Today, ‘running the gauntlet’ means to go through a series of criticisms or harsh treatments at the hands of one’s detractors. They’ve suffered the […]
Four years ago we took our first step opening Solo Practice University. While I had an idea (and hopes) of where the steps would lead, there was no way I could see the whole staircase. But four years and many thousands of steps later, I can tell you that the time has flown by and we’re into a […]
