A Day In The Life Of A Partner Attorney At A Small Law Firm
A typical day for John, a partner at a small law firm, involves managing client communications ("open up the emails, see what clients are asking"), scheduling, and client meetings—both in person and virtually—to advise on business transactions, "selling businesses, helping buy businesses, from a legal perspective". John prioritizes client satisfaction and cost-effective representation while managing deadlines.

What does a day in the life look like for you?
A day in my life depends on whether I'm in court. Generally, I open emails to see client requests, check my calendar, and ensure I'm getting work done.
I meet with new clients on Zoom, by phone, or in person. I advise people on how to navigate their situations.
I sell businesses and help people buy them from a legal perspective; I am not an investor. My goal is to keep clients happy, meet deadlines, and represent them cost-effectively.
