Going Solo? Scott Wolfe gives New Orleans attorneys some advice.

Posted on August 27, 2009 by Scott Wolfe Jr in The Swag

Four years ago, Scott Wolfe started Wolfe Law Group in Hurricane ravished New Orleans, LA, with a laptop and proximity to a local coffee shop. Since then, our firm has grown to a bi-coastal practice and represents contractors, suppliers, engineers and property owners in hundreds of claims.

New Orleans City Business magazine recently published an article titled “On their own,” providing advice to attorneys in the metro area who may be considering a solo practice. “With law firms throughout the country shedding staff,” the article by Christian Moises begins, “some attorneys are starting their own firms — either by choice or out of necessity.”

Wolfe Law Group’s Scott Wolfe was interviewed for the article, wherein he shed some light on the perils and triumphs of “going solo” and running a law firm.

This isn’t the first time Scott has been called upon to offer advice to those venturing on their own. Carolyn Elefant interviewed Scott and spotlighted him in her recently published book, Solo By Choice. Scott has also spoken to Loyola Law Students about venturing out on one’s own.

Creatures in the Office? Dog Friendly Policy at Wolfe Law Group

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Scott Wolfe Jr in Oscar Rocks

The USA Today published a story this morning about workplace dog policies, estimating that 20% of U.S. companies has dog-friendly work policies. The article, titled “Dogs Allowed: Creature Comforts At The Workplace” discusses common parameters of dog-policies in the workplace and highlights the positive effects of having such policies:

Supporters say pets in the workplace reduce stress among owners who worry about home-alone dogs, are a calming presence for even the non-owners and help employees form relationships. And in these times of disappearing benefits, pet-friendly policies are a free perk. Companies with such policies range from edgy Newport Beach, Calif., cosmetics company Urban Decay to Healthwise, the Boise-based non-profit health information provider.

As most of our clients and friends are aware, Wolfe Law Group is a dog-friendly office with the cornerstone presence of Oscar, a 3-year old French Bulldog. It’s of little doubt that Oscar contributes to Wolfe Law Group’s work environment, recognized in 2008 as a Best Place to Work by New Orleans City Business magazine.

In addition to helping morale, Oscar inspires a portion of the firm’s charity. As an example, in 2008 the firm turned its ordinary coffee purchases into an opportunity to help the humane societies of Louisiana and Washington.
