There are a lot things you never really realize when your working in a traditional law firm with many attorneys. Looking back over the last year, I have to remind myself how different things are now as an independent practitioner. I love the word "Independent" because it really does capture the experience. When you’re in a position to make all of your own decisions without the influence of a firm, partners or other limiting factors, you’re able to move effectively and quickly toward your goals. You’re able to select your goals based on your own needs.
You don’t realize it when you’re working for a firm. But there are hidden walls virtually everywhere. Those ways affect how you bill, which opportunities you pursue, what kind of technology is in a place to help you perform your tasks, your client base, your billing structure and virtually everything else.
I have very few walls or barriers professionally or personally. This is one of the best parts of being a independent practitioner.
