Starting a litigation practice does not automatically create a flow of litigation matters.
The challenge when you go solo is working out where the first matters will come from and how to build from there.
Building A Litigation Practice From Zero is a practical checklist for solo lawyers who want to take a more deliberate approach to building their early litigation caseload.
It covers issues including:
finding accessible early litigation work
developing relationships with other lawyers and professional referrers
conflict and overflow opportunities
making yourself easier to refer to
turning enquiries into first instructions
marketing while the practice develops
creating repeat work and stronger referral relationships
reviewing what is working as the practice develops
It also includes a Litigation Practice Action Plan to help identify the people to contact, leads to follow up, business-development activity to prioritise and work you want more of.
This checklist does not promise that you will obtain ten matters.
Instead it is designed to help you take a more deliberate and practical approach to building towards your first ten litigation matters and the beginnings of a sustainable litigation practice.
