What were you doing before becoming your own boss?
Before becoming my own boss I was …. working as an in house lawyer for a large corporate: bored, unfulfilled, frustrated, etc. etc.
What one general legal advice or tip would you give to those thinking of starting their own business?
My one piece of legal advice for someone thinking of starting their own business: get your customer terms and conditions right: understand what you are committed to provide; what other obligations you are taking on; how you can bring a relationship with a customer to an end; and make sure your liability is limited if things go wrong.
What are your plans for the business in 2009?
2009 promises to be an exciting time for me as I plan to merge my practice with another lawyer’s. Under our new brand of The Legal Director we will build a network of experienced in house lawyers who want to be their own boss and work on a flexible basis with a number of clients. To businesses we offer the opportunity to have their own legal director on a flexible and cost effective basis.
What are some essentials for the home office?
Reliable, high speed broadband; a separate room to work where you can shut the door at the end of the day.
What couldn’t I do without?
Mobile phone.
