What Is The Best Way For A Solo Attorney Looking To Transition To A Law Firm Harrison:[00:00:00] How can solo attorneys make a transition to a law firm without business or in-house?
Attorneys can make a transition. The best way to make a transition as a solo attorney, though, is you have to have some skills that are going to be in demand from a from a law firm. So, that would mean you have to be doing something that law firm doesn't have the people to do or the in-house position doesn't have people to do.
So, it would probably almost be easier if you're a generalist in-house to work for a smaller company, because then you can be a generalist inside the company and help them. If you are a generalist and with your own solo practice, who would make more sense to go to work in another solo practice or working with an office where they're doing a lot of different things as a generalist.
And, If you're a specialist, then you're going to have a much easier time going to work in a mid-size to larger firm or into a company that needs someone like you. But, solo practitioners transition all the time. Typically, the way solo practitioner will transfer into in-house is they'll go to work for a client, or if they go to work in a law firm, they'll have some sort of skill that the law firm needs or they'll [00:01:00] work in a smaller market.
