Employee or Owner?

You have a decision to make at the beginning of your legal career:

Do you want to be an employee or an owner?

This blog is for owners.

Employees are captive to the decisions and whims of others. Employees are ultimately dependent upon others for everything: work and compensation. Employees are often expendable. Moreover, employees don’t generally enjoy wide autonomy.

Owners can take control of their destiny. Owners exert dominion over their work and the directions they want to go in. Owners are essential. Owners have autonomy. Owners enjoy the benefits of firm profitability.
