It's a great feeling to know that you are helping to add value to the economy, and in my case, it's a constant reminder of why I started my own practice five years ago.
For lawyers who represent early-stage companies, it is frequently difficult to communicate the value of your services to start-up entrepreneurs. When entrepreneurs get sued or need to commence a lawsuit, they know they must hire a lawyer.
