Legal Grounds | Nikita Lamar on the Connection Between a Firm’s Culture & Its Clients, Learning Curves as Breathing Room, and Meeting Zealousness with Empathy
According to the National Association of Legal Professions, when I graduated from Law School in 1988 only 2.7% of graduating attorneys made the choice to go solo.
Looking at those same numbers, it’s easy to track the strength of the economy with the number of new attorneys going solo increasing during economic downturns.
But now that so much of the work we do can be done virtually, what used to be one of the largest challenges for any attorney deciding to hang out their own shingle – finding physical office space – has all but been eliminated.
As my guest today points out, with the ability to work remotely no longer in question, the stigma of being what was once called “post-office attorney” is fading.
Nikita Lamar is an attorney specializing in Family Law, Trademarks, and Probate & Estate Planning.
After graduating from Law School in the wake of the Great Recession, Nikita would found The Lamar Legal Group and, as she herself has written, her commitment to preserving what clients have worked tirelessly to build is the cornerstone of her practice.
We talk about her unlikely journey to law school, practical and philosophical tips for attorneys thinking of starting their own practice, and how vulnerability and empathy can coexist with zealousness.
Enjoy the show!
