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: blue boiling water 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.

In one case an attorney near retirement got him one of his commercial clients. The prestige does matter in the commercial litigation circles.

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.

Maybe it helps you get referrals from lawyers who are impressed by your background but you've definitely given up the comparative advantage.
