Presentation and introduction by Maestra Chloé Schmidt-Sarels.

After graduating from CAPA in 2012, we still have no desire to exercise as an abogado. Así que empecé my professional career as the legal manager of a new business.

Después de une experiencia muy enriquecedora, la necesidad de autonomy y una cierta nostalgia del derecho público llevaron a establecerme commemo abogado liberal.

What about hacer? As he has not passed through the collaboration box, there is always this idea of ​​setting up my propio negocio.

Las pocas prácticas que había hecho dure mis estudios en Paris estaban lejos de lo que esperaba as new abogado in a city that can be described as a judicial desertion and within a very small bar (100 abogados, 300 veces menos que en Paris: ¡otro world!).

Sin experience, sin clientela, sin red: ¿iba a ser uno de esos abogados que cuelgan el vestido después de pués de un año?

To get dirty, you have to sacar los remos and adopt a type of business model.

Aunque esto tends to change, lament that the term “empresario” does not form a necessary part of the DNA of our profession.

Sin embargo, parece ser uno des secrets del éxito de nuestros hermanos y hermanas principales. For example, Corinne Lepage responded to a periodical that the preguntó si debía gestionar su bufete de abogados as un líder empresarial, que no sabía “cómo lo hacen los que no lo hacen”.

This phrase put me in the head and how it guided me.

So you are happy to be able to share my experience as you have acquired it.

Therefore, we offer a series of articles that we hope will last in your installation, even if you are a collaborator as if not.

Compartiré with ustedes my estados de ánimo and mi estado de ánimo, the form in which he defines my offer, the palancas of communication, management tools that facilitates my daily life and trains her in handling the financial and administrative side.

Define your offer, the primer is not essential

“Ya verás, los clientes te elegirán”, “Tendrás que llevarte todos los archivos que entren”. These are the friendly words and/or concerns that some of my colleagues say to me.

At the cost of my limited experience, I went to the school of children. Even so, we do not need to do anything and nothing has to worry about. Do not enter into criminal, commercial or labor law.

I do not have the ability to be an independent abogado so that my clients can dictate their decisions.

So I tell you that I have to do everything possible so that the cases that will be handled are adjusted to my activity and are not determined by my clients, but by my clients' service. As you decide, step by step.

The first things you need to know are: “¿Who is it and what impulsa me? What is my initial training? ».

¿Quién soy yo? ¿What inspired me?

The idea of ​​practicing urban planning and the environmental derecho came to me quickly.

Poco antes de mudarme a esta small town in a semi-rural area in the middle of a large urbanization, I lived very conscious of the medium environment and lived in a change of (casi) cero desechos in my daily life.

As abogados, in all of our ambitions, we have to be able to do our job with the service of causes (or people) that are more likely to be felt by our profession.

Each of our nosotros necessarily has some of our hearts and may have a particular color at the same time as our activity, which allows them to differ. Therefore, this coherence is a good way to be more happy every day and more efficient 🙂

¿Cuáles son mis antecedents? ¿Need to deepen in certain aspects?

Hasta la maestría, todos somos generalistas. We specialize a little in the level of maestro. Obviously, my general administrative training lasted 6 years beforehand, but it is not enough to allow me to exercise the urban planning and environmental environment.

When I was installed, I decided to form a rural derecho with a university title and continue with a second Master 2 in urban planning and environmental derecho.

This training trusts me, shelters me in many doors and gives me confidence in great people.

Differentiate

A precise and specialized offer sets you apart. It will calm you down as much as the customer.

The days of general abogados have ended. The increase in competency and the growing technology of many of our topics simply is not permitted. We do not believe that these cases we accept imply our credibility and our liability to the customer.

We define the “dominant” nature of your company's activity, which is more clear, detailed: by type of case (case or litigation), by type of client (businesses, particulars, local authorities, associations, etc.).

We are fortunate to be independent. Aprovechemos is an opportunity to select the area that most suits us and most interests us.

Therefore, the next step is to ensure that it has a request or is necessary! Hablaré de ello en mi próximo artículo.
