Reminder: makes zero sense to go solo if you have T14/Biglaw pedigree
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 11th, 2017 10:35 AM Author: Racy pit Going solo is a good option for losers like chandler in insurance defense or otherwise already in shitlaw. If you have the pedigree for biglaw you’d be wasting it, it gives you zero advantage in the solo market. You’re comparative advantage is in the corporate law world, not in personal injury.

He was able to snag a few companies (too small for inhouse counsel but sophisticated enough to shop for a good lawyer) to do their contracts, intern hr stuff, and their commercial litigation. In one case an attorney near retirement got him one of his commercial clients. The prestige does matter in the commercial litigation circles.

Date: December 15th, 2017 1:45 PM Author: Well-lubricated meetinghouse double fault I went T10 law school -> biglaw and hated it. I was incredibly depressed. Now I'm solo and make about as much as a midelvel biglawmo but have no boss. I work about the same number of hours, but I can work at home or from wherever I want and spend time with my kids after pre-school/school. I still dislike law itself but it's 1000000x better than biglaw.
Having a boss is for neutered low-t "men." |

Date: December 15th, 2017 4:31 PM Author: Swashbuckling round eye sanctuary the point is a little subtler, that the t10 degree is "wasted" in the solo realm because you're clients wouldn't care if you went to a t10 or a literal TTTT. Maybe it helps you get referrals from lawyers who are impressed by your background but you've definitely given up the comparative advantage.
