Adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to succeed

Joanna Oakey considers herself an entrepreneur first and a lawyer second. Such thinking is critical, she says, for boutique firm leaders to succeed post-pandemic.
Speaking recently on The Boutique Lawyer Show, managing director of Aspect Legal Ms Oakey said that innovation is “born not of coming up with the perfect idea the first-time round, but being able to try things again and again and again, until you hit on the thing that really works”.
“That’s where boutique practice suits entrepreneurial people. The entrepreneurial spirit has room to move in the boutique space, as we’re able to do innovative things,” she said.
