When a lawyer looks to expand the capabilities available to their clients, more often than not they move to a bigger firm with an expanded scope of services. But one Florida lawyer is moving in the opposite direction for the same reason.

Until last month, Nima Tahmassebi was a partner focused on litigation at Miami-based boutique Perlman, Bajandas, Yevoli & Albright. He spent five years there working his way up from an associate to a partner. But after his client’s needs kept growing, he decided that he needed more flexibility rather than scale.
