This is the podcast for lawyers who want to grow and scale their business without burning out!   In this episode Michael and I discuss:  How his experience as an in house lawyer buying legal services led to the creation of Carbon Law Partners after realising just how broken the old system was; We discussed Carbon's founding principles of equity share, excellence in service and legacy for the future; Hear more about the brand new Bamboo platform and how so far there has been little thought given to what happens when a self-employed consultant wants to retire. The Bamboo platform might just be the next iteration of the "new" law firm model?!  Has being a consultant solicitor moved from being for the 1% to being for the 50%?  This podcast is for you if you're:  a self-employed consultant/freelance solicitor a sole practitioner a legal business owner a lawyer who wants to explore self-employment in your future We will explore the challenges, pitfalls, highs and lows of starting, running and owning your own legal business with guest experts and interviews.  You can follow all of the new episodes in our Facebook Group just for the podcast. https://www.facebook.com/groups/buildyourlegalbusiness Following the popularity of the Essential Skills for Consultant Solicitors Workshops in the summer and because we can now get together in person,  we are putting together a fantastic day event for consultants, sole practitioners and small legal business owners in Oct/Nov.  The places will be very limited so please get in touch to register your interest early.  Feedback from the last workshop included: "I wish I had this kind of induction when I first became self-employed!"
