One year ago, Jarrod Kenney founded his own law firm – while
still working full-time in a separate role. Here, he reflects on
the myriad challenges involved with starting a legal practice as a
concurrent career, setting parameters defining a competitive edge,
and what he’s learnt both about himself and the experience of
practitioners along the way.
In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
is joined by Kenney Legal principal Jarrod Kenney to discuss the
challenges of entering the legal profession while also working in a
separate full-time career, having clear parameters of one’s
expectations of one’s self and thus managing client expectations,
navigating the myriad challenges of starting a new business while
working elsewhere, and what he has learnt from that
experience.
Mr Kenney also delves into navigating conversations with clients
about capacity, establishing a competitive difference given his
different operating hours, staying on top of market changes and
evolutions, and what his unique experience of starting a law firm
while also working in another job has taught him about what
constitutes success for boutique practitioners.
