Building A Litigation Practice From Zero

A practical checklist for solo lawyers building a litigation practice from zero and working towards their first 10 matters through referrals, relationships and disciplined practice-building.

Starting a litigation practice is one thing.

Building a caseload of litigation work when you have no existing clients and no reliable flow of referrals is another.

You may already be an experienced litigator.

However when you go out on your own, you still need to work out where the first matters are actually going to come from.

Building A Litigation Practice From Zero is a practical checklist for solo lawyers who want to take a deliberate approach to creating that first flow of litigation work.

What It Covers

  • where your first litigation matters may come from

  • building relationships with lawyers and other referrers

  • using overflow and conflict work to create momentum

  • making yourself easy to refer to

  • converting enquiries into first instructions

  • protecting cash flow while the practice develops

  • following up genuine leads

  • allowing smaller matters and good relationships to compound

Who It’s For

This checklist is for solo lawyers who:

  • are starting a litigation practice without any existing clients

  • have litigation experience but no established personal flow of clients

  • want to build stronger referral relationships

  • need to create a reliable flow of litigation work

  • want to build towards a sustainable litigation practice
