Lemmo: thanks for the excellent input.
I kind of want to try something new.
figure its virtually impossible to go the be in a competitive in law school and network, go to a firm and work 60-70h a week, then hope to get transferred to the foreign office route. That;s just way too much work and risk of time. Plus, I heard these places are infested with the kids of really rich people with tons of connections. Taking these guys head on and expecting to beat them at their own game (i.e. international big law firm game and getting good grades in law school game) sounds like madness to me. Odds are probably very very low. plus having to learn foreign languages too, on top of that if i transfer to a foreign firm, I wont exactly be location independnet. I will just be dependent on a different location.
Odds to run a new type of law firm are probably also quite low, but at least the time commitment is much lower before I get to see if I will obtain the results I want.
Keep in mind Im not even going to try to obtain the revenue the local lawyer obtains.
I think I will run some market tests to see if people are willing to hire a lawyer working remotely but charging drastically less for certain tasks. Basically, my whole idea hinges on this being hte case (their being a market), but maybe you are right and its not the case. Only one way to find out.
If there is no market, then I wont do it obviously.
