How I Founded a Law Firm: 'Act Like an Owner Before You Are One,' Says Michael Forde of Forde & O'Meara
"Act like an owner before you are one. Learn the business side of the firm—billing, staffing, client development. And don't wait for someone to hand you a title. Leadership is often about mindset and initiative more than anything else. That same mindset is what created our firm—we saw an opportunity to do things differently in commercial litigation, real estate, and government affairs, and we built a firm to deliver top-tier work without the red tape."
