As you know, there’s no single successful way to build a law firm, but…
All the most successful law firms ARE built in very specific ways. For example…
There’s a difference between people who begin as lawyers and people who begin as business owners who provide legal services as a product.
When you’re starting a business, you might be surprised how many people cheer you on and want to be there for you. In Valerie Fenchel’s case…
