Do you have a contract that prevents you from "taking" those clients?

If you are entrepreneurial and can manage the business and development side as well as the legal side, there is little risk, particularly if you can start with clients in hand.

Most of my clients will probably go with me. I am the only person in my firm who does my exact speciality. There is no contract preventing me from taking them.

You guys are really giving me something to chew on here. I need to do some cost projections . . . .

What area are you planning to open office? How much space (and get more space than you need because you will probaably want additional help in the future); para legal, admin. Assts., outsource (presumably) system requirements, what are state and local, and fed. taxes? Office supplies--everything provided for you now wil also be needed in new office. Have enough money set aside for two years to get started (even with clients you already have); be as debt free as possible. The list goes on but you've got a general idea and there are women's groups that can help you. Good luck.

Wow, the D.C. area really took some pompous asses down a few notches, didn't it? About time. This town needs a little humility. Even though most people in the D.C. area have no idea how to apply that word. It could be a different place, if some let it.

Wow, the DC area sure has a lot of batshit trolls who like making irrelevant comments to people asking perfectly legitimate questions.
