Getting Your New Law Firm Up And Running

Starting your business on the right track is always going to take some effort. In the highly regulated, competitive, and important world of legal firms, it’s going to take even more care and attention. If you already have your license to practice, have gone through the legal steps of establishing your business, and know what you want to do, here are a few steps to help you get there including legal marketing.

Make sure you have a business plan ready

You should take the time to turn what you want for your business into a plan of how you’re going to actually run the business. There are great sample business plans for law firms that you can use as a basis. However, you have to think about which legal services you will offer, how you’re going to win clients, what costs you need to cover, and how you’re going to keep your business compliant.

Get your finances in order

We’re not just talking about the funding that you might need to source to start your business, although that is important. You have to make sure that you have the right setup to handle client funds alongside your own business accounts. Comingling client money with your own is one of the big legal mistakes you can make, so you need to have your own checking account as well as setting up a client trust account or some viable alternative.

Getting the right technologies and services

You’re not just going to be running your firm through sheer will and determination. You need to work out which legal technology tools you’re going to need for your law firm, as well as outsourced services that you may very well rely on. This includes your hardware, your legal practice management system, office software, and client relationship management tools. All of these are vital for managing a modern legal business.

How are you going to reach clients?

An essential part of any plan to start a law firm is having a firm idea of how you’re going to win the business of your clients, as well. To that end, the best place to start is by creating a website and establishing your office’s presence, before learning how to create a law firm marketing strategy. Getting an idea of the different tools that will help you with outreach is vital.

Working as a business owner

You will likely have plenty of experience working as a lawyer before you start a firm. However, the role of a business owner can be quite a different kettle of fish. You might have more choice in how you do your work, but you’re also responsible for every aspect of it. What’s more, while you may enjoy greater financial potential, your work-life balance can suffer as a result. Make sure you know what to expect as a business owner before you jump in with both feet.

Your legal firm’s success isn’t going to be solely determined by how well you can establish it from the beginning. However, putting your best foot forward is definitely going to help in the long run.

Jeff Rosenstock and Laura Stevenson Release New Neil Young Covers EP ‘Younger Still’

Jeff Rosenstock and Laura Stevenson have teamed up for another Neil Young covers collection. Out today via Polyvinyl, the four-track Younger Still follows the duo’s 2019 EP Still Young, and it was recorded in the basement of Rosenstock’s Los Angeles home. Stream it below.

“We have done something that we hope Neil Young doesn’t hate. Because we love him,” Stevenson said in a statement. “We covered some of his songs again. He didn’t say he was mad the first time. We just love him, okay? So we did it again, OKAY? WHAT’S WITH THE THIRD DEGREE?”

Rosenstock added: “We had such a nice lil’ time making the last EP Still Young, so we immediately dove into another! We recorded two songs before I moved across the country with a plan to record two more the next time I was back in town. Joke was on us though LULZ — a global pandemic happened, those two songs never got finished and Laura and I didn’t see each other for almost two years!”

The Antlers Release New Version of ‘Ahimsa’

The Antlers have shared a new version of ‘Ahimsa’, a track from 2017’s solo album Impermanence. Check it out below.

In a statement about the track, Silberman explained:

The original version had a patient tempo, spare instrumentation and hypnotic circular delays. It was intended as a meditation on the Buddhist notion of “non-harming,” which is perhaps a better translation of the title than “non-violence.”

Stemming from my wish for a tranquil day amidst turbulent health issues, my focus then was on confronting my own ephemerality as inspiration toward greater compassion for those around me. But in the years since its original release, I think the song has taken on a meaning closer to the immediacy of the chorus of “no violence,” and become a kind of hymn in opposition to the rampant turmoil and seemingly inescapable vitriol of the moment.

“Ahimsa” is an attempt to create a peaceful space within a violent world. The scope is wider now, though the message remains the same: mortality is one of the few qualities we all share in common, and through recognizing this we may discover compassion for one another.

Last year, the Antlers returned with their album Green to Gold, which was accompanied by the Losing Light EP.

Camp Cope Share New Video for ‘Sing Your Heart Out’

Camp Cope have shared a music video for ‘Sing Your Heart Out’, the closing track off their latest album Running With the Hurricane. Check out the poignant visual, edited by Natalie van den Dungen, below.

The ‘Sing Your Heart Out’ video is a depiction of love as it manifests in Georgia Maq, Sarah Thompson, and Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich’s lives, including a nod to Maq’s fandom of Frightened Rabbit. Speaking about the origins of the track, Maq explained:

Anyone who knows me knows how much Frightened Rabbit means to me, I think I hold the title of most FR tattoos on my body (6). When Camp Cope first flew to the U.S, I departed the plane and connected to LAX wifi, and in my message requests was a message from someone I didn’t know called Simon Liddell. In the message, he told me that he had shown Scott Camp Cope before he passed and that Scott had a lot of nice things to say about it. I burst into tears on the spot. So when we went to Scotland, I invited Simon and his girlfriend to our show, they came along and we’ve been friends ever since. During tours and then lockdowns Simon would send me bits of music he’d written for me to play with, he sent me a little piano part and it became the first half of Sing Your Heart Out.

Simon Liddell, former member of Frightened Rabbit, added: “Sharing music and collaborating remotely was a great way to stay connected with friends during lockdown. I sent Georgia a rough piano sketch which she developed into such a beautiful song – I was thrilled that I could play a small part in this album by one of my favorite bands.”

Nina Nastasia Unveils New Songs ‘Whatever You Need to Believe’ and ‘Too Soon’

Nina Nastasia has released two new tracks, ‘Whatever You Need to Believe’ and ‘Too Soon’. The songs were recorded during the same sessions that produced the singer-songwriter’s latest album, Riderless Horse. Take a listen below.

Speaking about ‘Whatever You Need to Believe’, Nastasia said in a statement: “It can be annoying to hear people talk about what exactly happens to a person when they die and then suggest things to do for that dead person in order for them to smoothly travel to the next destination in the afterlife, so they’re not trapped in a holding pattern. First and foremost, why do I have to take care of their travel plans. And second…well…what exactly have you chosen to have happen?”

Of ‘Too Soon’, she added: “Aging is cruel. Nature is cruel. Beautiful but mean. Unlike this song, I won’t find some tall nice grass to lay myself down in to die. I will go out screaming and kicking. And if science can find some solution for the pains of aging and the bummer of dying, I’ll sign up for the clinical trials, but that’s a different song.”

White Lung Release New Song ‘If You’re Gone’

White Lung have released a new single, ‘If You’re Gone’, taken from their upcoming album Premonition. Billed as the Vancouver band’s final LP, the record was announced in September with the tracks ‘Date Night’ and ‘Tomorrow’. Listen to ‘If You’re Gone’ below.

“Suicide was in the zeitgeist in many ways when I wrote this song,” frontwoman Mish Barber-Way said of ‘If You’re Gone’ in a statement. “At the time, a few prominent public figures had killed themselves and they all had children. I was thinking about postpartum depression and how real it can hit. The song is about the emotions of children when their parent is now gone and how they deal with that loss. It also looks at the struggle parents face when life gets so bad one doesn’t see another way but to end it.”

Premonition is set to land on December 2 via Domino.
