Maximum Lawyer Big Law to Small Practice w/ Brian Foster and Michael Wallace
Visit MaximumLawyer.com for complete show notes of each podcast episode, tips, hacks and more resources!
Today on the show we have Michael Foster and Brian Wallace, co-founders of Foster & Wallace. Their firm is based in Kansas City and is brand new-less than a year old.
We’ll discuss taking the leap from BigLaw to running a practice, the biggest challenges they’ve faced in making the transition, running a firm with two different practice areas, establishing yourself with a website, all while staying focused and organized throughout the process.
Hacking’s Hack: Ryan McKeen said at the beginning of the year that he’s done reading business books. I’m reading a book right now called Billion Dollar Whale. Think modern day Malaysian Gatsby except it all really happened.
Tyson’s Tip: Two books by Russell Brunston- .com secrets and expert secrets. I use these as desk references.
Michael’s Tip: Have coffee to network rather than lunch. Saves money and is better on the waistline. Ask for 5-star reviews from everyone you work with.
Brian’s Tip: When you’ve got business partners its important to be open and transparent. Leave it all out there.
