"What are your plans after passing the bar? What kind of law do you want to practice?"
With graduation less than five months away, these questions seem to intensify by friends and family. The truth is, for a few years I've known exactly where I want to go. As far as what, well, that's still working itself out.
More than four years ago, I began working at a small company. Having a "corporate" job immediately before, the new found freedom and independence of working for a small company was an eye-opening and life-changing experience.
Even now, as I work for a small law firm, I love the independence, freedom, lack of intrusion, and camaraderie of a small firm.
After speaking with lawyers who worked for medium-large size firms, I came to the conclusion that I'd gladly exchange somewhat higher initial pay and the farce of job security for a smaller firm.
For those close to me, you know what my plans are. I've been associating with a close, successful attorney for the past few years. We've discovered success as a attorney/assistant team, and I can't wait to see the success we can bring as an attorney duo in the years to come.
New firm name and details to come soon!
