I believe there is a large market for reasonably priced, high-end corporate law with a personal touch, and I am going to prove that hypothesis over the next few years.
So, if Mom asks, just tell her that’s what I’m up to.
There’s 2 types of lawyers in the world:
1. Those who have their framed diplomas proudly displayed in their office + have “esq” in their sig block.
2. Those who have no clue where their diplomas are and aren’t sure what an “esquire” even is.
There’s no in-between.
Now that it’s 2023, it’s time we all commit the following to memory:
It’s WAY cheaper to pay lawyers to do it right from the start than it is to pay lawyers to do a cleanup job after the fact.
Lawyers put up OOO messages saying they have no access to email, Wi-Fi, running water or electricity then respond to every email w/in 5 minutes.
This is the magic of the profession.
It's a rule of the profession that every time a lawyer labels a document as "(Final)" and circulates, there will be additional edits.
This needs to be taught in the core 1L curriculum in every law school in America.
An under appreciated skill of elite lawyers: coming up with 🔥 analogies on the fly.
Being serious here.
If you can do it, you have a hugely valuable communication tool for being clearly understood by non-lawyers.
• Corporate lawyer = Swiss army knife
• M&A lawyer = meat cleaver
• Data Privacy lawyer = scalpel
• Litigator = baseball bat covered in nails
And that right there is all you need to know about the law.
Hire accordingly.
