Merging law practices might be your best move. Kathy closed her solo firm after 'wearing every hat.'

Here's the brutal truth about solo practice: you can't actually practice law when you're doing everything else. Kathy had a case involving the Smith and Gadow firm and evaluated their professionalism firsthand before joining. The collaborative law firm structure, mentorship benefits, and family law firm specialization convinced her to close her practice. 

Now she's a named partner with certified specialist credentials and AAML fellowship. This episode breaks down the practice transition strategy, becoming a law firm partner timeline, and attorney partnership opportunities most solos never consider. You'll learn why scaling through merger beats staying stuck in admin hell.
