Our partner, Chuong Bui, joined a panel on “Translating Legal Expertise into Entrepreneurial Success,” moderated by . It was a powerful conversation that showed just how far legal skills can take you; especially when paired with creativity and an entrepreneurial mindset.

It was inspiring to connect with attorneys, law students, legal tech folks, and more; all redefining what it means to be in the legal industry.

From the conversations to the community (and yes, the “Counsel for Creators Collins” cocktail at the kickoff event!), the spirit of creativity, thoughtful entrepreneurship, and excellent vibes was everywhere.

Huge shoutout to .lakha and the Legal team for curating such an energizing, welcoming, intentional, and fun experience. They absolutely crushed it! Looking forward to next year.

Creating boundaries in a client-facing business can be challenging.

Your clients might expect you to be available 24/7.

You might feel guilty about saying no to them. We want to make our clients happy, so it can be hard to say no to requests, even when we don’t have the time or energy to take them on.

You might be concerned that your client will leave you. You might think that if you set boundaries, your client will leave your for another business that’s more available.

You might not know how to set boundaries, and where to start.
