This may be slightly out of left field but thought it was worth a shot.
A couple of years ago I started studying law (LLB) part time. This arose out of an interest in the law itself, some family experiences and a good use of my spare time. I'm now around half way through the law component and coming up to study property law and conveyancing this semester.
I have a good friend who is a mortgage broker and who is willing to refer all his clients to me when I am either fully qualified as a lawyer (2.5 years) or legally able to do the work.
My idea was perhaps I could approach an existing lawyer who would be prepared to "show me the ropes" and take me on as a contractor type relationship, where we could negotiate a percentage split of the conveyancing fee. I do the work and gain the experience ahead of completing my degree, and hopefully the existing lawyer gains some easy extra revenue without the costs of adding an employee. I presume there is opportunity for other legal work via these clients in estate planning, wills, trusts etc mainly VIC/TAS based if that is important.
So legal eagles, do you think this concept could have wings?
