Building A Litigation Practice From Zero
A practical checklist for building towards your first 10 litigation matters
Coming Soon
Starting a litigation practice is one thing.
Building a caseload of litigation work when you have no clients, no existing matters and no reliable flow of referrals is another.
We are developing a new practical checklist for lawyers who are starting, or rebuilding, a litigation practice from zero.
The focus is simple:
Where do your first litigation matters actually come from and what do you need to do to start building momentum?
The checklist will look at practical issues including:
where your first litigation matters are likely to come from
how to build relationships with lawyers and other referrers
how to use overflow, conflict and smaller matters to build momentum
how to make yourself easy and safe to refer to
how to convert enquiries into first instructions
how to protect cash flow while the practice is developing
how the first matters can start to build reputation, repeat work and a future niche
The first objective is not to build the perfect litigation practice.
It is to create the first flow of good work.
Who It Is For
This checklist is being developed for solicitors and independent lawyers who:
are starting a litigation practice without portable clients;
have litigation experience but no established personal book;
are moving into sole or independent practice;
need to generate their first reliable flow of litigation work; or
want a more deliberate approach to building a litigation practice from the beginning.
It will be relevant to lawyers across Australia and internationally, although professional obligations and practice requirements will naturally vary between jurisdictions.
