From Boutique to Bigger: Unleashing Growth Opportunities in Local Real Estate Firms

Description

Yes, I would. You can join a more prominent firm and probably get a job there. You can use a recruiter, or you can; you could probably get in there, or you could network your way in. But yes, if that's your situation, that's precisely why people like that move. People like you move, it's because they want to.
They want to get more experience. So doesn't matter where you start in the legal profession; you can start at a small firm. You don't have to get to work at a big firm. You start at a small firm many times, take punches, and get knocked down, and they're. And then you get into a big firm, and you have more confidence, and maybe you only work in a small firm for ten years, but then the other 40 years of your career, you do.

Typically when you're on a smaller firm, you move when you hit the ceiling because you have all this work you can do and get more work. You can bring in more significant matters, but there are not enough partners to do it, help you with the work, or not enough associates, or the firm doesn't have enough other practice groups.
So this person's saying, I'm bringing in real estate. All we do is real estate, but we also could do corporate and litigation and all these other things. And if I had another firm, I'd be able to. More bring in business to do that, and I would have more clients.
