Building Your Solo Practice From Zero
A practical checklist for solo lawyers building towards their first ten matters
Coming Soon
Starting your own legal practice is one thing.
Building a case load of work when you have no established clients, no existing matters and no reliable flow of referrals is another.
You may already be an experienced lawyer.
You may be very good at the legal work.
Once you are practising on your own, you still need to work out where those first matters are actually going to come from.
We are developing a new practical checklist for solo lawyers who are starting from zero and need to begin building their first real book of work.
The focus is simple:
How do you create the relationships, conversations and opportunities that start turning into your first matters?
The checklist will look at practical issues including:
telling the right people what you are now doing
finding worthwhile early work without simply taking everything
going where work already exists
building relationships with lawyers and other professional referrers
making yourself easy to engage and easy to refer
following up genuine opportunities
turning early matters into repeat work and referrals
working out what you are beginning to become known for
reviewing your first ten matters to see what is actually working
The first objective is not to build the perfect solo practice.
It is to create momentum.
Who It Is For
This checklist is being developed for lawyers who:
are starting a solo practice without an established book of work
have legal experience but no reliable personal flow of clients or matters
are moving from employment or partnership into solo practice
need to generate their first genuine flow of work
want to build stronger referral relationships from the beginning
want a more deliberate approach to building a solo practice
This is not primarily a marketing checklist for an already established practice.
It will be relevant to solo lawyers across Australia and internationally, although professional obligations and practice requirements naturally vary between jurisdictions.
