Thanks, Devansh. Scaling a traditional law firm definitely requires that ‘pyramid’ approach—but it isn’t unusual for boutique firms (both in law, and in other professional services areas) to be mostly comprised of reasonably experienced folk. I’m reluctant to think about scaling up too much (although have of course given it some consideration) as my focus is on seeing whether the idea has merit at a more modest scale, but the composition of a more scaled up org providing legal services (and/or other professional services) might be determined by the interest EA lawyers had in doing that work—I’m speculating that if there are lots of people in the intersection of those three sets I described above, you might see more within-community growth versus hiring outside. But all of this is just a guess—focus at first would be on testing the merits with one or a small number of people.
