In "Skipping the Partner Track for a Shingle of One’s Own," the New York Times profiles lawyers who have successfully jumped ship the from traditional BigLaw practice world, which pairs nicely with the more generic "Starting a Business -- The Romance versus the Reality." The Times then follows up with an open question -- "Can lawyers be entrepreneurial?".
Several lawyers offered useful responses, but here's an interesting response from a nonlawyer:
I work for attorneys as a process server and I can say that my best and most laid-back clients are the ones working solo. They are more hands on, stay in contact with me in regards to service, and are much easier to get in contact with. The larger firms with multiple associates always seem to be in a rat race for partner.
