Ready referral base: The firm’s transactional and business clients already generate disputes that currently go elsewhere, so you start with a steady source of matters.

Local to Dover: You’d practice in the community where you work, with less of the commuting and billing pressure typical of larger firms. Growth path: A growing firm with a new practice line means room to take on leadership as the group expands. Location Dover,DE, US #J-18808-Ljbffr
