<p>This week on <em>Studying Law Around the World</em>, I had the pleasure of sitting down with <strong>Faren Bogach</strong>, a commercial litigator, construction law expert, and the founder of Construct Legal.</p><p>Faren’s career path is a fascinating study in taking control of how you practice. She began at a boutique firm before moving to Big Law, where she built a powerhouse construction practice and became an equity partner. However, she eventually realized that the traditional law firm infrastructure did not align with how she wanted to work.</p><p>Faren left to launch Construct Legal, a firm built entirely around client outcomes and a radically different approach to team culture—including implementing <em>maximum</em> billable hours and a firm-wide profit-sharing model. We discuss the realities of construction law, why clients avoid conflict, and how to actually mentor young lawyers.</p>
