To my fellow lawyers: you don't have to offer edits to something just because you prefer different words. This is true whether you're working on a draft court order, a contract, or anything else. Sometimes the best advice is to accept the language proposed even if you'd use different words to get to the same point. You don't need to prove your worth every time and your words probably aren't all that special anyway. In fact, I'd say you prove your worth more with patience and knowing when to weigh in and when you can sit something out. #lawyers #riseabove #professionalism.

💰If you're paying $1000 an hour or more for a lawyer, you're paying too much. That's it. That's the post. #lawfirm #legalinsights #legalfees

I have not posted here in, well, ever...but the time has come. Having worked in-house for more than a decade and now having launched a tech startup, I have seen first-hand and up-close how hard it is to find practical legal advice that suits your needs. 😤 The practice of law is broken. $1000+ an hour lawyers are commonplace, and firms have their hands in all of your pockets the day you walk in the door. 🤑 They speak a language you don't know and tell you things you do not understand. Firms all say they are different but that's a myth. To prove it, I asked ChatGPT to write me a law firm "about" page for a firm that says they practice differently. The results are in the comments. It could be any firm. ❗ You need a guide to wade the legal waters; a guide not tied to the billable hours or the pressure to produce for a firm and extract more and more work from you. 🆘 If you don't have a guide, you have a target on you. No one likes to say this out loud, but this is the reality of a competitive legal marketplace beholden to the billable hour. This is not to say firms should not make money. It is a business, after all. But it is to say that you need someone independent to protect your interests. 🕊 This is why I've decided to offer fixed-fee and personalized fees for services on a limited basis to help you navigate the legal waters. Whether you want on-call services, legal consulting, second opinions, or someone to act as your legal consigliere to manage your legal work without being beholden to Powers That Be, I can help. 🤝 Take a look at my website and if this sounds interesting to you, let's connect. Yes, lawyers can do more than one thing at a time. 🧙♂️ #legalservices #futureoflaw #generalcounsel
