What was that Lionel Hutz quote in the simpsons..''what the world needs is more lawyers'' as bart asks what would it look like with none and picturing every race and creed singing and dancng in a ring. I feel the world would be that way without journalists
Hi Terry just wondering what happened the first time you set up? How much is enough for a startup? Was it a lack of clients or why wasn’t the business making money the first time
Combination of factors: wrong practice area choices (eg criminal law), poor location (1st floor), did not have enough capital to start and could see writing on the wall, was forced to get a job for a short period
@@terrygorry thanks for the reply Terry. Taking into account PI Insurance Practicing cert that’s probably €30k for a start before you make anything. Do you recommend ground floor office space ?! Thanks !
Yes, would recommend ground floor. The key is client generation. Some are good at it, some suck and are stuck and fail to address what is needed@@Paul5520
Terry, was it difficult to secure a training position with a law firm as an older guy? I am 49, due to sit the Fe 1 exams next spring (yes I will attempt all 8 in spring, yikes).
Thanks!
Very impressive timeline and story Terry, massive respect to you for that. Did you find it very difficult getting a training contract?
My own solicitor told me if I every passed the FE1s she would give me one. And she was good to her word 👍
Thank you for sharing your success story, a real inspiration

@@terrygorryplus ya criminal stuff is all or nothing in my own experience.

My own solicitor had promised me one if I ever passed the FE1s. Don’t think she expected it 😀🤔
❤ GREAT VIDEO

Hi Terry just wondering how much is consultation with you on the phone via video WhatsApp?
€150, Zoom, email or in person. Don't use Whatsapp for business. call the office if you want to arrange.
