Some lawyers set up practice immediately after Call to Bar and are doing fine, some did at the same time and have closed shop.
Some are in small towns and attract big income, some are in big cities but earn little. And yes, it is the other way round for some.
Some are 15 years post call as salary earners and living fine, while some sole proprietors of the same Call age still struggle to sort their bills.
Some are doing great in the corporate world, some are frustrated in the same space.
Some are not internet savvy but have enough briefs to even share with colleagues who have strong web presence.
Some lawyers are really hardworking and get proportionate reward, some also work so hard with no commensurate earnings.
Litigation has buttered some lawyers' bread but it has changed some others' white shirts to cream colour.
Some lawyers speak impeccable Queen's English but they cannot boast of kingly briefs like lawyers who knife English language.
It appears there are no hard and fast rules to this, luck and time seem to play vital roles.
Better to keep working hard and smart, maximize your strength and complement your weak areas with help from others.
May we be positioned at the right place, at the right time, for the fat briefs.

YOUR WEEKLY REMINDER THAT ANY IDEA YOU CONCEIVE, AT ANY POINT IN TIME, HAS LIKELY ALREADY PASSED THROUGH THE MINDS OF A MILLION OTHERS. THE LONGER YOU LET IT MARINATE, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT SOMEONE WILL EXECUTE THAT SAME IDEA BEFORE YOU.

For some of us needing precedents for drafting:
1. Corporate & Commercial: Drafting by Dukia and Rodney Ryder's Drafting.
2. Software Agreements, data privacy and policies: Robert Bond Software Agreements.
If you download & print out a public document from the website of a public institution, e.g, circular. That document bears dual nature - public document/computer generated. I saw an authority that states that apart from complying with S.84, you must also certify it. Wild stuff.
