You don’t necessarily need a five year plan for business expansion. As we’ll learn this week, you might not need a plan at all! Matt Davis, the founder of Davis Business Law, rolled up his sleeves to tackle unexpected challenges in expanding his firm. The once fledgling law firm is now well on its way to meeting the goal of 30 locations by 2030.
