When you have always dreamt of running your own law firm you don't want it to become a nightmare. Sarah Jones of Watson Legal in Bishops Stortford is living the dream. Sarah set up Watson Legal in September 2013 in serviced offices and is already looking at expanding into larger premises and adding more areas of practice to her firm.
Watson Legal deals with litigation, conveyancing, will disputes, inheritance claims, property disputes, commercial law and employment. Sarah is also a mediator and used her time as Featured Firm on High Street Lawyer to discuss the benefits that mediation can bring to a case.
Watson Legal is a new firm and Sarah shared aspects of her business plan and aspirations for the future. As a result, she received valuable feedback from other law firm sole practitioners and senior partners who have been there and done it.
Sarah questioned the audience on HSL Workshare about growth in law firms, observing that while some were satisfied in standing still, the reality of doing nothing to push your business forward can actually result in in going backwards. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone and attending networking events, organising lectures and connecting with local businesses are some of the ideas Sarah has planned for this year.
HighStreetLawyer is a support services business whose aim is to help small law firms flourish through a combination of outsourcing, collaboration and sharing. HSL Workshare is our unique platform for connecting all of our members all the time in real time. On 12 March our HSL Member firms and other interested like minded law firm owners and senior solicitors will come together for a CPD accredited strategy day. Hosted by DUAL Asset Underwriters we will discuss marketing, insurance, banking and compliance. As always, we expect more ideas will be shared than we have anticipated and our participants go away with far more than the cost of the day. Check out the full programme and book your place. Places are strictly limited so please contact us to reserve your place.
