What are the Pros and Cons of a Solo Law Practice?
The death of the “solo practitioner”, like that of Mark Twain, is greatly exaggerated. Thanks to the personal computer, e-mail and the Internet, solo law practices are thriving as never before. A solo practice can give you the freedom to manage your time, as you are no longer accountable to other lawyers and there are no “minimum quotas” for billable hours. You can work when you like, as long as you like. Depending on the type of practice, you may be able to do business from a home office.
