It's been a real game changer for me. I highly recommend it!
HeyCounsel's Slack channel is quite active and the attorneys are diverse and eager to help their community. Very intentionally thought out and curated experience. We recommend.
I feel more connected to the legal community than I have in years.
I've been absolutely blown away by the support, resources, and knowledge being shared in this community.
I'm a big fan - been a member for near a year now... it's been exceedingly helpful in being able to gut check with attorneys + get good sense of new legal tech. @itsbrianscherer has done a great job.
It's been a genuinely great resource for learning, referrals, and connecting with other lawyers building their practices.
The more I connect with others who are doing the same thing, the more I realize I am qualified, I am good at this, and I can be successful.
The most legit and well managed community I've ever been. HeyCounsel has really helped me in my solo practice.
Participating in the HC community and learning new things from its members is honestly one of the highlights of my day.

When I joined HeyCounsel, I already knew I wanted to start my solo practice, but I didn't have time to explore everything HC offered while working full time. Now that I've officially started my law firm and have been actively using it for a bit over a month, I need to tell you: HC is AWESOME and has been helpful in ways I didn't even expect.
Managing PartnerTaisa CondinoLexon Legal ServicesThe demos, connections, and opportunities are top-notch, and I'm so glad a friend told me about it! I have reconnected with former colleagues (one after 20 years!), people who interviewed at my firm, and more. There are so many great people on the platform. I can't thank you enough for providing this terrific resource.
OwnerChun WrightLaw Office of Chun T. Wright, PLLCThe HeyCounsel community is truly phenomenal. Everyone I've met is exceptionally bright and driven, but also genuinely kind, authentic, generous with their time, and a great person outside of being an excellent lawyer. I feel very lucky to have been introduced to the community so early in my solo journey. I've been fortunate to work with several members who regularly refer matters to me, and my practice has been slammed as a result.

You might consider applying if ...
- ✓You run your own practice — solo, boutique, or fractional — and want peers who get it.
- ✓You're comfortable sharing what's working, and what isn't, in exchange for the same from others.
- ✓You're in the trenches of building your business, and you're looking for your wolf pack.
- ✓You want fractional, flexible, or project-based work without going through a staffing agency.
- ✓You're interested in building a lean, AI-forward practice and want to learn from others doing the same.
- ✓You're considering the leap from Big Law, in-house, or government and don't know where to start.
We're not a good fit if ...
- ×You're at a larger firm and not looking to go independent anytime soon.
- ×You're just looking for client leads, not a peer community.
- ×You'd rather keep your practice private than trade notes with other lawyers.
