One thing I've always been curious about when starting a law firm is how much effort happens before the first client ever comes in. Picking the office and deciding on a specific area of law setting prices, and creating a name in the industry all seem like important steps that need a lot of planning.
I've been checking out what is involved in a law firm business plan and noticed that it has to include more than just the beginning. There needs to be a way to get clients handle regular costs and make sure the business can keep going even when there isn't much work.
For people who have started their legal practice or helped someone start one what would you focus on first? Would you spend time creating a list of clients or getting the money part set up before you begin?
