Growing a Law Practice: Miami Litigator Jane Muir Used Bar Events to Launch a Career

“A lot of entrepreneurs, they will feel much more confident that I understand the challenges that they’re facing because they know I’ve faced them, too,” Miami attorney Jane Muir said.

When Miami business litigator Jane Muir launched her own firm, it wasn’t the scenario she had d imagined.

As the 2009 mortgage foreclosure crisis did its worst, Muir lost the first job she’d landed after passing the bar just a year earlier. And she needed a quick Plan B.

” ‘Well, gosh, I can’t do that. I’ve just barely graduated from law school. I don’t know how to run a firm,’ ” Muir recalled telling him. “ And he says, ‘Of course you can. You just get an office in a shared space and, next thing you know, you’re a big-time lawyer.’ ”
