If you have a dream of being your own boss and running your own law firm, think about hiring an attorney coach. Whether you are just out of law school or have been practicing for a few years, an attorney coach can help you navigate the unique waters of opening a solo practice (or small practice).
1. Doing it the Right Way the First Time Saves you Time and Money.
Using an attorney coach, particularly someone who has opened their own law firm, can ensure you follow the proper procedures and methods to get your practice up and running the right way. This will save you a lot of time and money rather than having to go back and fix anything you might have missed (on top of handling all of your actual cases!). Likely the reason you want to open your own firm is because you love practicing law and are good at it. So focus on that and let someone else come in and help you with the business side of things.
2. Personalize Your Relationship.
Your relationship with an attorney coach should be personalized. If you want someone to handle it all, explain that. You may, on the other hand, just want someone to check in with a couple of hours a month to make sure you are on track. Just because you hire an attorney coach doesn't mean you have to spend a ton of money; figure out what's important to you and structure the relationship around that.
3. It gives you more time!
Starting a solo practice is an incredible experience; it is exciting but it is also a lot of hard work. In the time you are getting things set up, you might be missing out on valuable clients you could be taking. Let someone come in and get you set up quickly and efficiently so you can start focusing on clients (and making money!) sooner rather than later.
