Dear Young lawyer, Something happened to me on my way to this moment. I am more prepared to hire applicants who aspire to set up their own practice than those who do not have such aspiration. I surprise even myself to arrive at this destination, because 30 years ago as applicants to associate positions we were brainwashed to say " I am here to stay and work hard towards being made a partner like you in this firm some day". We said that to get a job. The aspiration to set up his own practice one day is one of the reasons I hired Chong Wai Zhe (Jason) who wants to be a construction specialist. That makes my job as the Managing Partner easier. I know he will self manage. I know I will have to be an even better Managing Partner to make him stay. I don't have to remind him to do things that he needs to do towards independence and autonomy sooner than later. He is responsive to the firms clients because deep inside in a sub conscious level he knows these clients could be his clients in his own practice one day. I am perfectly ok with that. The only thing I cannot change for him or for others is change core values of the firm or the name of the firm. Rest is open for discussion. Our law firm is not the cup of tea for everyone. I am happier that I have stayed on being a Managing Partner of a law firm which has evolved this way by reason of the pandemic and accepted that we are taking the road less travelled. Keep my fingers crossed that I know what I am doing!. otherwise it will be a teachable moment. if you are wanting to set up your own practice but don't know where to start, happy to chat. Whatsp me at 0178887772.

Lawyer | Co-Founder of ADVOS Pro + ADVOS legal. Leveraging experience in business and law to build a firm model that aligns clients and counsel.
We are so excited to step up our "Off the Clock" game. In addition to the networking that we always do, we have invited Leah Miller, MBA to join us for our "Off the Clock" event on May 16th at 4:30pm EST! 🎉. After almost a decade as the Firm Administrator and CFO of a closely-held law firm, Leah understands the unique challenges firms face when it comes to managing financials. In 2023, Leah decided to take this experience to help law firm owners across the country reach their growth goals. Leah's firm provides Fractional CFO Services to law firms focused on growth and in need of some extra help with financial analysis. 🤑 You might ask why is Leah our very first special guest? We believe so deeply that knowing how to keep the score is one of the very best ways to build a firm you absolutely love. 💕 We find it is one of the aspects that many law firm owners haven't had a chance to see first hand - the incredible value that an experienced CFO can bring to their firm. Spotting trends before you do, examining profitability mix, and developing solid plans and the RIGHT metrics for the sustainable success. The agenda loosely looks like this: after intros, we will have a fireside chat where we will get to know Leah's advice for law firm owners and then we will open it up for Q&A. You won't want to miss the chance to have your questions answered. If you aren't yet a member of our private community, the ADVOSphere, sign up here! Membership is free for law firm owners (and those considering it in the future) https://bit.ly/advosphere Also sneak peek.... we have lined up some AMAZING Special Guests at our upcoming events. Can't wait to see you in the #ADVOSphere! #OffTheClock #SpecialGuest #LawFirmGrowth #ADVOSPro #ADVOS #Promance #LegalEntrepreneurs #lawfirmowners #legallife #MeasureWhatMatters https://lnkd.in/dcTaF9cG
