184. DIY Law: Insights into a Solo Practice (with Nikolas Lust)

Most of us believe that the obvious and safest route to practice once we graduate is to become an associate at an established firm. But “most of us” isn’t Nik Lust. Join host Matthew Takamatsu as he speaks with Nik, a solo practitioner, about everything you need to know about starting your own solo practice right after articling. The pair talk about the daily hustle of bringing in business, how to market yourself as a new lawyer, the importance of being confident in yourself, and a step-by-step breakdown of everything you need to do to start your own practice. They don’t teach you this in law school.
