I'm dabbling in side solo work this year. I know that I could go solo and do well initially, but I'm not sure that I could keep it going. The idea of sustaining growth and keeping the book of clients/matters churning year in and year out is daunting. I have tremendous respect for dudes like CSLG who seem to be able to make it happen.

mostly civil lit, i have matters in various stages, and would try to get you involved early in a matter so you'd see how the process works. happy to also talk to those thinking about going solo, but concerned about learning how to efficiently work up cases in a non-biglaw setting.

you'd be a 1099, so geography doesn't matter, as I'd expect everything to be done remotely. so long as you meet deadlines, i could care less where or when you work.

Wife's job is contingent on my work visa, currently. Otherwise would jump ship and go solo in a minute. For now, we stay in Europe.

Because I’m a pussy

Last December I actually had a talk with my boss about quitting to go solo. He urged me to stay, even though my hours were shit and promised t work out a new pay arrangement. Nothing ever happened.

Right after the holidays my biggest client (that I hope to take with me) called me in and asked me to do a pretty big deal involving buying a big partner out of a family of about 80 different companies. I don’t know how to do that on my own, so I stayed at my firm to help me get through it (my bosses are good at this). Took a few months, then cleanup work until May or so. Done now.

Now I’m in the same boat as I was last December. Pay the same (got a measly few grand for bringing in the deal)
