Lots of new followers the past couple of weeks, so I think it’s time for an introduction! My name is Nathan Hill and I am an Associate Attorney at @smblawgroup assisting SMBs throughout the M&A process. Can someone say “dream job”? I currently live in Cleveland, OH after…
Everyone said I was crazy when I turned down multiple BigLaw offers to become the first associate at an untraditional firm instead. @smblawgroup But @SMB_Attorney and @KHendersonCo had a vision: to build a modern law firm that actually puts business owners first. Not just…
Crazy stat I'm really proud of: Last month, for the first time ever, more than 25% of @smblawgroup's revenue came from non-SMB M&A work 🤯 After helping clients close over $1 billion in transactions these past three years, they’ve started coming back to us for everything else…
Feeling super grateful today to be able to learn from the team @smblawgroup Yes, this might make me a kiss up and I’m okay with it.
Eric or Kevin when I tell them I closed a deal @SMB_Attorney @KHendersonCo
A strange thing about working in a growing business. @SMB_Attorney has beat into me the importance of Google reviews so now any time a business asks me for one following their work, I JUMP at the opportunity to leave one for them!
Some of the sharpest, most grounded lawyers I know went to law schools you've never heard of. And some with Harvard degrees are idiots.
Most people read fiction for fun, I’m trying to become the best attorney I can be. (Don’t worry I still read fiction)
Wife is thinking about getting out of healthcare and maybe starting a business…. wonder what chaos I can come up with.
Sometimes I really struggle. And it has been happening a lot recently. Not because I don’t love the work. I do. Not because I’m not good at it. I am. But because the weight of it all catches up with me. The long hours. The pressure to always be on. The fear of missing…
Reviewed 4 LOIs today. All from different clients. All had the same problem. Not mistakes per se, but the kind of oversights that kill deals on the 1-yard line. The issue? Too much left unsaid. Too much left open to interpretation. Here’s what I mean: A good LOI doesn’t just…
Favorite email ever just came through: "The Lender's Counsel will be @SAOliver_Atty" Everyone say thank you!
I keep seeing “the 9–5 is dead” and I’m confused. I haven’t worked 9–5 ever. Law school was 24/7. Traditional Law Firm was 24/7. SMB M&A? Still 24/7. Sure, I work at a firm that values time and balance. But my brain never really clocks out from client deals to firm matters,…
There are HUNDREDS of these billboards around Cleveland now and it’s a pretty good way to get a whole city of people to hate you
Cleveland, Ohio billboard removed following backlash 👀
Wait…..@SMB_Attorney told me all these YESTERDAY?!?
My biglaw partner mentor had the following advice: “The nail that sticks out will get pounded in.” “The people around you are busy and exhausted. They don’t have enough time to keep up with their own personal lives, so they definitely don’t want to hear about yours.” “Wear a…
Buyers, beware When the value of a business is mostly in real estate, the Seller will try to sell you a building. But you’re buying a business that happens to own a building. Here’s what to watch out for: 1.You’re not just buying dirt. You’re buying…
