Why lawyers work where they work, the uncomfortable truth
In the spirit of demystifying some of the nonsense I’ve been reading in the legal press allow me to elucidate the REAL reasons why lawyers work where they work:
Of course there are other reasons why lawyers work where they work. If you can come up with better reasons than me whack them in the comments.
I’m a realist, I understand the nature of puff pieces legal publications put out there. They have sponsors to pander to, I don’t, one day when I’m big enough I can sell out and write aggrandising nonsense about firms and their lawyers too, I can’t wait!
There’s upside for you when that day comes… No longer will you need to sneakily read my pieces then DM me about them, instead you can proudly hit like and talk about whatever politically correct, sponsor filled, BS I’m pushing openly in your office. Until then please accept the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
