Attention: Corporate, M&A or securities lawyers who are ready to take control of their life and career once and for all…
Do you ever get get anxious that another year has passed you by and
you didn’t learn the rainmaking skills you need to be in
control of your own career?
Are you frustrated that the partnership at your firm is
unsupportive
of your rainmaking activities?
Are you concerned that without a
book of business your job will always
vulnerable
during down economic cycles?
Is the whole “making partner” thing a mystery to you andare you frustrated
by how it’s inconsistently applied at your firm?
Do you feel like the partnership carrot has been dangled in front
of
your face for too long and it may never happen?
If you
are sick of working hours that are the
equivalent of two jobs; being on call nights, weekends, and on
your vacations; if you don’t want to be that partner who is little
more than a senior associate with a fancy title, who has to work twice
as hard to prove your worth to the firm:
**YOU NEED TO KEEP
READING**

Let’s
face it, if you are shopping for a corporate associate position, it’s fair to
say you’re a fairly astute guy or gal. You already know that the only
resolution to all of these problems, and the only way to truly have any kind
of control over your own career is to develop a book of business.
 "It’s
rare to work with attorneys who bring such an entrepreneurial mindset
to practice development.
Furnari
is revolutionizing the practice of law and you have the opportunity to ride
their coat tails right to the top.
You will learn life-changing skills working
along side them and would be a fool not to take advantage of this offer.
This
is an opportunity that only comes along once in a lifetime."

It’s
no secret…
If you’re
still reading, you are probably the kind of lawyer who really and truly
wants to develop your own practice, but perhaps you’re frustrated that…
 you have no
time left in your week to develop a meaningful book of business because of
your billable hour requirement?
the
partnership has made a lot of promises about mentoring you through business
development activities and not followed through, and you just don’t know where
to start?
the
partnership is not supportive of associates developing their own client base?
there’s no
incentive for you to do any marketing because you’re paid a pittance of what
you originate. |
WE
KNOW!!!
Less
than 5 years ago, we were stuck in exactly that same rut.
| Steve Furnari's story:
By 2001, I had been working at this big firm for a
few years, busting my ass, putting in the hours, and doing what I thought was
the right thing.
Because of my unpredictable work schedule, I could
never commit to plans with family or friends; I was
beginning to think of the financial printer as my second home and I was
completely miserable. My life was a mess!
Then the dot com crash happened and things went
from bad to worse. The firm was forced to merge with an even bigger firm to
stay afloat and there were major layoffs.
For the most part, only partners with portable
business made the cut. Everyone else was on the street, including me.
The service partners - who for years had devoted
themselves to the firm but never had the time to develop a book of business -
were axed. These were nice, smart, talented people who had mortgages,
families to support and tuition to pay. Needless to say, they were panic
stricken.
Where can a 10th, 12th, 15th year big-firm lawyer with no portable business go to earn a salary to support
their lifestyle in a down market? NOWHERE!!!
After seeing this, I vowed to never let that
happen to me. I accepted a position to work for a young partner at a much
smaller firm. The partner’s business was booming and he promised to be
supportive in the development of my own book of business, including being lenient about
the non-billable time it would take. We both agreed it was a long-term
investment for the firm.
Turns out, the guy flat-out lied.
He was never around for any mentoring, and when
the rest of the partnership called me out for not having enough billable
hours (because I was spending time marketing like I had agreed with the young
partner), the guy didn’t support me.
The end result: I WAS FIRED FOR TRYING TO BUILD A PRACTICE!!!
After
that, a miraculous shift occurred.
I hit
rock bottom, emotionally, mentally, physically, and that was the catalyst to
change everything about my career and life. |
If you
want to continue to practice law at a firm, in order to build a book of
business you only have two choices:
1. You
can stick it out at your firm, and maybe with some persistence, in 7 years or
so by working late nights, weekends and every minute of your spare time to
market, you will be able to develop a meaningful practice;
--OR--
2. You
can do what we did, cut the salary cord and strike out on your own (which also
could take you 7 years before you figure out what the hell you are doing,
that is if you don’t go broke first). |
Until
now!!
RIGHT
NOW, Furnari Levine LLP is looking for a special person to fill an associate
position. It’s an unprecedented opportunity for a
corporate lawyer to learn how to become a master
rainmaker, and get paid while doing it.
What if we told
you that we can offer you a position where you would get paid a solid base
salary to do
quality corporate/securities/M&A work, AND where you would actually be encouraged to
generate your own clients and develop your own book of business?
What if we told
you that there would be specific non-billable time allocated in your
schedule that you
would be expected to use towards learning proven marketing systems the most
successful rainmaking attorneys use, and get the mentoring support and
coaching you need to achieve your marketing goals?
What if we told
you that we can offer you a ridiculously high payout on the clients you originate, and
you would not be overworked? NOT EVEN BY A LONG SHOT?
"I left a big NYC law firm and started my own M&A practice six years ago. The hardest part was not having a steady income, and not knowing how to develop a self-sustaining book of high-paying clients.
This position is a virtual safety net for anyone who wants to go it on their own, but won't do it without guarantees. It's an incredible opportunity for a talented associate who aspires to do something more than just trade time for a salary.
I only wish something like this was available when I started my practice."

What if we told you that new matters you originate from the firm’s clients will mean additional income to you?
Now
listen, it gets even better.
What if we told
you there would be a straightforward way for you to make partner, that you could do it in as
little as a year,
and would have the upside of earning a high 6–figure
income in less than 5 years? No matter your age or law school
class year?
How
would your life be if you:
had total
control over your career?
had the piece
of mind that you never
have to depend on anyone else to earn a living in the legal profession?
had the sense
of security that
you have the skills and tools that will allow you to work as much or as little as you
want, and earn
as much or as little as you set your mind to?
loved what
you do!! |
We
guarantee that it will change your life forever—because it changed ours.
Since
we've have been able to build our own books of business, we now have piece of mind and sense of security, and have
the skills to generate as much business as we ever need.
HOWEVER, this opportunity is not for everyone.
If you
qualify, here’s an example of what we are looking for:
We ask you to
commit to this position for at least 18 months and give it your all.
During this
time you will service our clients and work the firm’s marketing systems for a
maximum of 4 billable days per week.
On the 5th day, you will devote your time to developing and servicing your own book of
business (plus if you’re ambitious, you can work more hours on your own time,
but we will not make you do this).
You will be
required to help train junior staff (which will free your time to market
more) and your replacement when you transition into being a partner.
To keep an
open mind about learning our marketing system, and trust that you will need
to step outside your comfort zone, but that you will do it in easy,
incremental steps.
To keep a
weekly blog of your business development activities, goals, thoughts and
successes.
Most
importantly, you must be up to playing a bigger
game, and have a BLAST in the
process! |
OK, at
this point, you might be thinking, this sounds great, however, I’m just not
sure I can do all this marketing stuff.
So, look,
we understand. We’re lawyers, and we’re trained to be risk averse; however,
with this program we’ve eliminated practically all of your risk.
This is
an extremely unique opportunity, and is limited to one position.
So, if it
doesn’t work out between us, to eliminate your risk, we will do one of two
things for you:
1. we
will have a “regular” associate position available for you,
--OR--
2. WE
WILL FIND YOU A JOB at another law firm.
We have
created an extensive employment partnership with colleagues at other firms
and we guarantee that we will find you a job.
Alright,
you’re interested, so let’s talk about bottom line numbers.
A
strong base salary. We
will pay you $80,000 year, plus your individual health insurance through our
plan, three weeks paid vacation and five personal/sick days.
A killer payout out on your originations. We will pay you 100% of the first $50,000 of your business originations, 75% of the next $50,000 and 35% of everything after that.
Make
money off our backs just for keeping your ears open. While servicing our clients, if
you are able to spot an opportunity and sell additional work to a client, or
get a client to hire us for another matter, we will reward you by paying you
20% of that new piece of business. Not bad for just keeping your eyes open
for new opportunities.
Making
partner is simple and transparent. The process of making partner directly relates to your business
originations. It’s a low enough number that by following our marketing
system you could easily reach it in as little as two years or less. |
Why we know you can
be successful
at this marketing
system.
Our
marketing system is based on the simple principal that if you give a man a
fish (in our case a client) they eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish
(you know the rest).
We will
teach you to use the most fully automated, high tech-high touch, most progressive and highly
successful marketing tools available today. By learning these skills, you will succeed
at any career you use, not just the law.
For most
associates, marketing legal services is a complete mystery. Marketing does
not have to be sleazy, schmarmy, salesy or feel icky. In fact, you will soon
learn, business development is the most fun part about being a lawyer.
Marketing
your services is as simple as this: if you believe that your clients
derive a value from what you currently do for them, then you can market legal
services.
If you do
not believe you are providing value, you’re in the wrong business.
The truth
is, that marketing legal services is very simple. It’s not an event, it’s a
process, and you MUST work at it frequently and consistently, and it’s the frequent and
consistent part where most lawyers fail at marketing.
The thing
is, it takes a lot of non-billable time to market frequently and
consistently, and
we both know about the value of billable time at a typical firm: it’s a
precious commodity your current boss is most likely unwilling to compromise.
We
feel differently about it and have built the non-billable marketing time into
this position that you need to be successful at marketing.
The
reality is, there are only six strategies to market legal services, and some
of those strategies are significantly more effective than others. We will
literally hold your hand to pick the strategies that you will enjoy doing most, and that will leverage your
personal strengths.
By
following our step-by-step system, you will begin taking the action in
easy, incremental steps. Within a short amount of time you will begin to generate your first
clients, and these will be the same steps that will help your practice blossom
into a million dollar business!
These are
the exact same steps that we use and have developed over the past five years
(and we’ve tried it all). We have invested, and continue to invest, TENS
OF THOUSANDS of dollars on the industry’s top legal marketing gurus to learn the best
advice, tools resources, strategies and tips that the top rainmakers use to build a million dollar
business.
Right now
you have the opportunity to learn these strategies while earning a substantial
income at the
same time.
Based on
our experience, it would cost you thousands of dollars and years of your
time to replicate this system.
Once again this
position is not for everyone.
We’re looking for that one unique person.
Unlike
other firms, we don’t care about your class year or pedigree. If you…
…can
in your sleep:
draft and
negotiate employment agreements; consulting agreements; operating agreements
and stockholder agreements;
counsel a
client about corporate structure;
have the
confidence to draft any contract based on a set of facts as long as you can
find a good form (distribution agreements, license agreements, indemnity agreements,
OEM supply contracts, any kind of customer or supply contract, etc.)
…do
one of the following well:
run a M&A
deal;
run a private
placement,
draft a
registration statement, file it with the SEC and handle comments; or
handle ’34 Act
work for a public company.
…have
a pleasant personality and can have a non-argumentative conversation with
non-lawyers about something other than the law;
…have
experience delegating to or training junior staff; |
You could be a possible
candidate and
we would love to meet you.
So, what’s
the next step?
Here’s
the thing, time is of the essence. We only have ONE position available at
this time, and have overwhelming interest.
This is
an unprecedented opportunity and it is guaranteed to fill immediately.
If this
position interests you, and if you’re serious and committed about taking your
business and career to the next level, and would like us to teach you exactly
how to do it, please complete the following questionnaire.
If you
qualify, we will contact you within the next 48 hours to set up a phone
consultation.

We
appreciate your time and attention, and wish you all the success in the
world.
