Here is a link from the site JDSupra to a very useful article providing thirteen suggestions that can help you thrive in private practice.  This article is a part two of an earlier article by the same author entitled "What They Didn't Teach You in Law School, " referenced on this site in an earlier post.  The author is Andrea Lee Negroni who is of counsel at the financial services firm BuckleySandler LLP.  Andrea has lots of wisdom to share as she has been successful at small, medium, and large firms and even started her own firm.
