Regret becoming a lawyer at 35. I believe everyone has seen lawyers in TV dramas. Most people will think that a lawyer is a well-paid and reputable profession and want to become a lawyer. Share as follows: I regret being a lawyer at the age of 35.
Regret becoming a lawyer at 35. When I decided to take off the judge's robe and put on the lawyer's robe, I experienced a lot of hesitation and struggle, and my work status changed from stable to unstable, which was very stressful for me as a middle-aged lawyer.
In my past work experience, I have worked in courts and political and legal committees successively. When dealing with lawyers, the endogenous motivation of the legal profession activated my inner blood and prompted me to enter the legal profession and begin to enjoy the pain and happiness from scratch.
First, perceive the market and quickly find business areas.
After I changed from a judge to a lawyer, I had to face the question: how to find my position quickly? I began to guide myself to find more specific questions and try to find answers.
Judging from my previous career as a judge, I can finish my work well as long as I concentrate on my business, but lawyers need to improve their reputation in the industry and establish their influence and brand besides being proficient in their business.
Having found some ideas, I began to study around and explore my business orientation.
Suzhou, where I live, has a developed private economy and a market subject of over 654.38+0 million, so I position my business field as enterprise service. Then the question is, how to enter the entrepreneurial circle without much contact with the business field?
Faced with one problem after another, I believe there will always be a solution.
After leaving the court system, I sorted out the entrepreneurs I knew, understood the potential legal risks of their companies, and gave a reasonable plan. Slowly, several companies hired me as a legal adviser.
My previous job was really tiring, and I thought about giving up more than once, but in order to find more possibilities for myself, I began to expand my channels of receiving information.
I came across an article saying that lawyers' brand promotion methods are "word of mouth, speeches and articles". Through various understandings, iCourt has systematic counseling and training courses specifically for lawyers to improve their work efficiency.
Through study, I have mastered the thinking and related skills of speech. After a lot of deliberate practice, I began to boldly go to the podium to make the audience like my speech. This experience is of great help to my practice.
After returning to Suzhou, I tried to hold legal lectures in chambers of commerce and associations where entrepreneurs are concentrated, and to conduct self-marketing by showing my good professional quality. This precise marketing has won me a number of customers.
When I felt that everything was developing in a good direction, life suddenly poured cold water on me.
A consulting company intends to set up a new company. They asked me about the advantages and disadvantages of the ownership structure and tax comparison between natural person investment and legal person investment. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know much about finance and taxation. I can't forget the disappointed eyes of the general manager.
Knowing the shortcomings of my own business, I participated in the "Special Training Camp for Lawyers in Finance and Taxation" organized by iCourt, and systematically studied the identification and planning of fiscal and taxation risks in enterprise investment and financing, including accounting principles, financial statements, and equity structure design.
When I first came into contact with the knowledge of finance and taxation, I didn't even understand some of the contents. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to resume classes. Through the second and third classes, I gradually absorbed and mastered the relevant knowledge.
Through a period of accumulation and practice, my business field has expanded from simple contract review and labor compliance to equity structure design, tax planning, capital increase and shareholding, corporate mergers and acquisitions and other fields, constantly expanding the depth and breadth of my services to enterprises.
In the process of helping enterprises solve legal problems, I try my best to use the information and resources I have to provide resource integration services for entrepreneurs. Because I helped enterprises solve practical difficulties and even helped some enterprises complete strategic adjustment, entrepreneurs began to regard me as their real friend and think tank.
Second, form a team to build a strong position for young lawyers.
The business volume gradually increased, and I formed my own team. I hope the ideal state of the team is that the team helps members to improve their abilities, make them better and become a platform for their growth.
In the Internet age, technology promotes legal progress, so that I have to keep pace with the times after 70.
So I came to iCourt again to learn the skills that lawyers must master today, such as efficient legal retrieval, big data analysis, litigation visualization, legal logic training and so on. Through learning, I have mastered how to use intelligent legal service tools to improve work efficiency, and at the same time, I have optimized my thinking mode and gained a lot.
During the two-day study time, I saw that young people accounted for the majority in different classes. They are easier to absorb new knowledge and are better at using new tools, which makes me feel the sense of urgency of "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before".
I told the young lawyers in the team not to take the completion of the work assigned by me as the standard, but to follow the example of all young lawyers who are constantly learning and striving for progress, constantly consolidate their professional skill base, constantly update their professional knowledge base, keep up with the pace of the times, be good at using technical tools to improve work efficiency and win the future practice competition.
More importantly, I believe in young people and hope that the team can give young people a broader space for growth. I will let young lawyers develop freely and encourage them to achieve rapid growth with a sense of problems and results.
I will ask young lawyers to build a business service process system, create a number of products such as corporate governance, contract management, labor and personnel management, and corporate legal risk prevention, strengthen knowledge management, and guide them to constantly fill their "list of capabilities" through the setting and improvement of various tasks.
Third, cross-border integration to build a strategic layout.
In the process of serving enterprises, entrepreneurs often ask questions such as marriage and property inheritance. Based on the needs of customers, I also began to pay attention to the field of family fortune inheritance.
By chance, I learned that the Chinese Testament Library, a public welfare project, is a project to register wills for the elderly over 60 years old free of charge and preserve them for life. This is a public welfare undertaking beneficial to the society, and it is also a slogan of family fortune's inheritance.
After returning to Suzhou, I began to prepare for the Suzhou appointment point of the Chinese Testament Library, which was officially launched on June 20 18. After that, the team lawyers walked around the streets together and went deep into the community, giving dozens of lectures on legal knowledge about inheritance for the community free of charge.
Now, the Chinese Testament Library Suzhou Wuzhong Appointment Point has made wills for nearly 100 elderly people free of charge. In the words of the old people, you have solved my worries and done a great thing for us!
Due to the landing of Chinese Testament Bank in Suzhou, many insurance, trust and pension institutions have found us, hoping to cooperate with us in the field of family fortune inheritance.
At this point, our team's two strategic layouts, enterprise service and family fortune inheritance, have all been completed. Its inherent business logic is the inheritance of enterprise-equity-entrepreneur-family fortune. Through cross-border integration and cross-field integration, I have a new orientation for my future career development.
After I set foot in the inheritance field of family fortune, I found a wide range of fields, including the distribution and inheritance of family business equity, the control of family business, the inheritance and cultivation of family business, and the realization of marriage risk, asset risk isolation of family business and the preservation, appreciation and inheritance of family fortune by using family trust, insurance plan, will and tax planning.
Moreover, because most family businesses involve domestic and foreign asset allocation, family members' relationships and foreign-related marriages, not only the legal relationship is complex, but also the participation of overseas professionals. Therefore, team members need to be versatile, and the team needs to have the overall planning ability of various resources and institutions.
Some people may say that it can't concentrate and it will distract them. But in fact, when our team is large enough, the extension of business architecture is not contradictory, but complementary.
In the three years of development, I didn't have smooth sailing, but mistakes and failures are the price of innovation, and they are all allowed. Everyone tries to find his place through trial and error.
In the past three years, I sometimes doubted whether my choice was correct. In this journey of self-denial and error correction, I have gained growth and won the trust of the team.
In this process, the most common thought is the sense of crisis. How to make myself strong is a question I often think about.
For my future career, I hope to establish an attractive and dynamic team assessment and distribution mechanism, organizational structure and talent echelon training model.
In addition, it is necessary to establish an ecological circle of family fortune's heritage services to attract practitioners from different fields and industries such as law, insurance, trust and notarization to enjoy knowledge, experience, service process and text results.
Regret becoming a lawyer at 35. I came to Hangzhou alone in 2008. I was going to take the civil service exam. While reading, the students chatted together. Everyone wants to be a lawyer. I lied that I was a civil servant. In 2008, I took the exam for another year and failed the list. Most of the students who want to be lawyers have been admitted to civil servants or do legal work. Only I entered the law firm and became a paralegal.
In 2009, I worked as an intern lawyer for one year. I have been worried about business for several years, but I have been sticking to it. After several years, the business gradually stabilized and settled down in Hangzhou. I think I have just arrived in Hangzhou, but I am short of money. I have no taste.
Do you regret being a lawyer? Just like the line in Wong Kar-wai's movie "The Master": "How boring it would be if there were no regrets in life!" Now in the age of no doubt, many things are relaxed. Life is a constant choice, there is no right or wrong. The road of life is different, the scenery is different, and the harvest is different.
If you really regret it, it's not that you regret choosing to be a lawyer, but that you didn't realize life in the first few years of being a lawyer and have been worried about your case. If you look back at the present results, you won't be so worried, and how can you know the situation at that time?
Lawyers' working hours are relatively free, and now they are more and more accustomed to this relatively casual way of working, so they don't have to go to work on time. I am most gratified that I can play basketball while others are working. I have been a lawyer for several years, and my business is stable and my income is ok. It is a well-off society.
Many law firm directors I know let their next generation of lawyers. After all, they still think lawyers are good. Therefore, if you can persist in being a lawyer, don't regret it; People who regret may not be able to persist.
Regret becoming a lawyer at 35. I resigned as a civil servant and worked as a lawyer for three years. Do you regret it?
Time flies, time flies, when our annual beginning of autumn arrived, it was three years since I resigned from public office and became a lawyer, and it was ten years since I entered Xinjiang to take the civil service examination in June of 201/kloc-0. So I always want to calm down and sum up in recent days, especially in the years since I resigned in July. 18. Three years is neither too short nor too short. This year, my partner and I founded a new law firm. Now everything is on track. Anyway, it is a phased summary of my life!
20 18 is really an unforgettable year for me, because that year, I was 30 years old, gave up seven years of work and accumulation in the system, and chose to start from scratch and follow the law from the heart.
I worked for seven years and the procuratorate for five years, becoming the backbone of the business. Being worthy of my diploma as a graduate of Southwest Political Science and Law has enabled me to accumulate a certain amount of criminal law business, and it has also become a skill for me to make a smooth transition as a lawyer in the future, and the Party Committee has worked for the department for two years.
It also makes up for many shortcomings of my professional cadres. In my own opinion, these two years of experience have taught me a lot and met many excellent people. I still remember a sentence in the resignation report at that time, "[benefit] is not shallow, and benefit for life."
As a foreigner, it is not easy to have the opportunity to be elected from a grass-roots procuratorate to the organization department of the higher party Committee, which is generally considered to be very good. To this end, I am very grateful to several colleagues and leaders who have recognized me. I really didn't take care of it in recent years until I resigned. I've always felt guilty about it.
Some people may ask, why did such a good company resign? I want to quote the original words in my resignation report, which is of course true. "Because my parents are old, my mother is in poor health, my children are young and my family is in financial difficulties. In order to take better care of my family, I am now applying to resign from public office." Yes, that's right. My family is in financial difficulties. Because I was born in the countryside, my parents tried their best to make me give up my status as a college student. It is even more impossible to continue to support me financially. Facing city life, everything costs money.
It's really hard to get a salary of around 3,000 yuan a month, but one thing is that the mortgage fund is enough, otherwise it's really hard to survive, let alone save money to buy a car. My wife was pregnant with a second child. So I don't have any family resources, and only poverty can change. Resignation to earn money became the biggest and most difficult problem at that time.
Seven years of hard work and a good platform are envied by many people. Once you resign, it means that all your efforts will come to nothing and you will personally ruin your career. Inner struggle, long-term blindness, the future is still unknown, but the first choice is to lose. Those months were the most tangled and painful time when I was growing up. Sometimes I can't give up, and sometimes I'm unwilling to reality, so that I've been talking to myself, being myself and listening to my heart. If I want it, I will lose it.
Finally, I made up my mind to report, communicate, strive for understanding and support, and was successfully approved. The moment when we really met passed, and my heart was empty. That feeling lasted for half a year after I entered the law firm. I feel that I have left my unit, lost my organization, lost my goal and lost my direction, just like a ship returning home from a night flight suddenly lost the guidance of the lighthouse.
After resigning, I didn't have a rest. I went directly to the law firm, joined the criminal defense team led by Wu Bo, and did some auxiliary desk work. Of course, I have too much contact with him. He has a similar background and resigned from the legal profession before. Fortunately, with the professional knowledge accumulated in my previous work experience, I was given a high salary, which gave me security when I first entered the business.
But the real difficulty and challenge is the change of role and the adjustment of mentality, because although lawyers have good income, their social status is really not high, especially in the process of dealing with the public security law, they often encounter many unspeakable experiences, which will be slowly spit out later.
Every industry has its own characteristics and abilities, which are the basic conditions for adapting to and basing itself on an industry, and the first thing to do is to adjust the mentality. No matter what you used to do, being a lawyer should adapt to the rhythm and working style of the lawyer industry. The biggest advantage of being a public official is that most of the work is official business, at least few people will give you a cold face or embarrass you.
Coupled with the high social status, many things are easier to handle, but being a lawyer is different. What you represent is personal, in other words, private affairs. You have to face all kinds of situations, all kinds of cognition, all kinds of demands of the parties, and all kinds of departments that need to handle your case.
Therefore, it is necessary to face everything in the work with a more tenacious and complicated mentality, which must be cultivated. More importantly, we should learn to deal with the parties, be good at understanding and sympathizing with their difficulties and experiences, and try our best to provide them with legal help within our power.
The first thing I did after I resigned was to buy a car. It is impossible to become a lawyer without a car. As many people say, men just have to be hard on themselves. Although I had no money at that time, the total amount was less than 5000 yuan, but I still borrowed money from the bank, borrowed some money, and spent nearly 200 thousand to buy a car. For me at that time, it was a huge sum of money, because I believed that as long as I worked hard.
