Grateful for all the feedback I improved the End Use Declaration, and made a separate website (endusedeclaration.com) with some shameless plugs. I think, lawyers should take such direct-to-problem approach instead of market themselves as expert in law area X

Lawyers mistake complexity with value Yes it can be that simple to solve a problem Simple for you as lawyers still may mean a great value for the customer

Lawyers talk about themselves I am expert in X That’s totally fine btw, but misses the point. You shouldn’t claim the solution (expertise), instead you should claim the problem. Talking about a specific problem is talking about the customer. Monopolize the problem

If I would start over again as lawyer… I would focus on problems Instead of trying be the solution with legal knowledge about a specific area of the law Being a problem expert is the fastest way to a personal monopoly (h/t David Perell) Problem > Solution

Being experienced and being an expert are two different things. A beginner at something “experienced” new things. While “expert” is just a claim. People love listening to experienced people instead of experts.
