I got to the office before him, I left the office after him. I made that law firm what it was. Then, when I passed the bar and got sworn in, I started to try to have the discussion with him - when do we want to start changing the names on everything, should we create a new legal entity, when was my name going on the door and on the bank accounts?" "I was already running the firm remotely. I’d put the systems in place to allow me to log in and do what I needed to while I was abroad. I did everything that needed to be done to make my firm a multimillion-dollar success." "You have me. And you don’t have to put up with whatever you’re putting up with in your lawyer life now. I spend my days helping lawyers - 1:1 and in groups I facilitate and in CLEs and trainings and workshops inside firms - and I would much rather help YOU live your joyful and thriving life, than to do all the things you THINK you should be doing in your lawyer life." >>> Are you looking for clarity and guidance about the next steps in your legal career?
