Fervent and firms of similar tier, shows the stark realities of what it's like practising at the lower end of the legal industry's value chain i.e. the small firm and 'Chinatown' shops.
At this tier, the quality of the lawyers and law practices vary wildly, from hardworking good competent practitioners at affordable price points for the common man, to incompetent practitioners way out of their depth, or just plain lazy, or even worse regularly in breach of professional ethical rules.
My advice to juniors who read this is - practising at the lower end of the profession is brutal. If all you can get are jobs in small and mid-sized firms, try your best to move up the chain ASAP. If you've tried reasonably hard and after some time still find yourself stuck in these small firms, you should seriously reconsider remaining in law. You can get far better compensation, work-life-balance and fulfilment in other industries, for the same amount of effort you put into practice.
