#startupfirm Snap Shot: Practice Areas
By Gwynne Monahan
We?ve covered banking preferences, hiring an accountant or DIY, advice you?d give but didn?t get, office space preferences?and what type of business entity lawyers use for their solo or small law firms.
There?s an assumption made with those initial #startupfirm Snap Shots: you know what area of law you want to practice. Or perhaps you want to cover more than one. So how do you do that? Do you decide on one? Do you group areas together? And what about competition or finding a mentor?
One of the questions on the survey asks about practice area, and here are the responses:
- Bankruptcy, Civil Rights, Election law, Criminal, Domestic, International.
- Family , Criminal, Estate Planning
- Immigration
- Business transactions, contract preparation and negotiation, etc.

- Litigation: family, criminal, civil and administrative
Litigation is popular, as are business-related practice areas, family, criminal and employment. To say the law is varied is an understatement, but having a sense of where other solo and small firm lawyers have chosen to practice can help you decide on your focus area, have a sense of competition and also find mentors. They know the triumphs and trials not just of starting and running a practice, but doing so in a particular area of law.
