Starting a commercial law firm may seem exciting at some point but it may also be daunting when you do not know where to begin. Are you in need of a business partner? What are the necessary licenses and registrations? What is your strategy to first-time clients and to gain reputation in a competitive sphere? It is an issue of interest to all who may be considering commencing their own commercial law practice or those who are already in the formative stages. We should speak frankly about the actual hurdles, steps on the way, and the things that we have learned. And in case you had previously done it or might do so, tell your experience, questions, or advice to make smarter decisions.
