Both Rich and Jess started their careers in the BigLaw environment, but within a few years, they had left their respective firms to start their own boutique practices. By the age of 30, both had set up – and continue to run – successful sole practitioner businesses.

In conversation with Jerome, Rich and Jess reflect on their vocational journeys, why sole practice was an appealing pathway, and how young lawyers can do the same.
