THE READER

Who it's for

You are a lawyer. You are deciding which briefs to take, where to practise, or when to start your own chambers. You argue other people's cases well. Your own decisions get no hearing.

INSIDE THE BOOK

What's inside

  • How to find the real problem in your practice before you chase more briefs or move cities.
  • A Pune litigator whose real problem is fees never agreed in writing.
  • A Lucknow lawyer who spends eight months testing a move to the Supreme Court before he moves.
  • A Hyderabad firm that fixes slow replies to smaller clients instead of opening a Bengaluru office.
  • Worksheets and a scorecard for each of the seven stages, from seeing the real problem to carrying out the decision.

All cases are illustrative, not real people or companies.

Questions before you begin

Is this legal advice?

No. Nothing in this book is legal advice. It is about decisions in your own practice and career.

Do I need to read BSI or Your Call first?

No. This book stands on its own. It uses the same seven-stage method as BSI, written for lawyers.

Is there a paperback?

Not yet. It is available now as an e-book.
