How would you like to introduce yourself to our readers?<\/strong>
My name is Brandon Dorsky.\u00a0 \u00a0Please feel free to reference me as Brandon Dorsky or, as some of my clients like to call me, the wizard.\u00a0\u00a0I am an Intellectual Property<\/a> specialist with over 13 years experience as a practicing attorney.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you begin your journey in this field?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My journey into legal practice technically began when my father told me not to become a doctor, although I’d point to my becoming a manager of artists and a talent buyer for The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Michigan as the beginning of my path into intellectual property law<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the one thing you would like to tell your younger self about making your way in the profession?  <\/strong>
Advising on intellectual property risk and strategy requires more than just knowing the related intellectual property laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of work IP firms or practitioners outsource<\/a> to the legal freelancers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my experience, legal freelance opportunities come in many different vehicles.   In the realm of intellectual property, there are a couple different avenues where I have had success recruiting opportunities for outsourced legal work.   There is a healthy amount of freelance litigation related discovery work driven by larger AMLAW firms seeking considerably cheaper discovery assistance.   Organizers of micro-communities are also a good resource for legal freelancers.  I have found success participating in micro-communities and making myself accessible to their organizers and members, whether its the coordinator at a recording studio or rehearsal space, a teacher or instructor of an art program, or the founder of a private membership club, being visible as a resource to communities that have an on-going and constant need has led to a pipeline for work opportunities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do IP firms or practitioners outsource their work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IP firms or practitioners outsource work for not only efficiency purposes, but to fulfill their ethical and fiduciary responsibilities to their clients.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is more preferable? Freelancing websites like upwork\/freelancer.com<\/a> or an individual\u2019s personalised request.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer an individual’s personalized request as I feel there is more of an opportunity to establish a relationship and personal connection with the customer that leads to re-occurring work opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should one approach an IP firm or a practitioner to seek legal freelance work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone seeking to offer freelance legal work to an IP firm should begin by forging relationships with the operators of those firms, and or the attorneys responsible for delegating work on behalf of the firm or practitioner.   Actively networking with solo, small and mid-size firms that may not have the support staff in-house to fulfill all research and\/or discovery demands at any given time is an excellent way to build a base of work funnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any parting advice for legal freelancers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaining familiarity with emerging bodies of law or significant changes to existing bodies of law is tremendously valuable as entrenched or veteran practitioners may recognize value in your specialized knowledge and be more inclined to continue engaging you for freelance work or referring work in that subject matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, never stop building your network and know what you don’t know. <\/p>Brandon Dorsky<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
