In this episode of the Think Small Podcast, Bill Sincavage, founder and principal attorney of Sync Law, shares the story behind building a fast-growing real estate and business law practice from the ground up. After spending 15 years at a Boston-area law firm, Bill took a leap of faith and launched his own practice with little more than experience, determination, and a vision for a modern client-focused firm. He reflects on the challenges of starting from zero, building credibility in a competitive legal market, and growing Sync Law from a shared office space into a multi-state operation serving clients across New England and beyond.

Bill also discusses the realities of entrepreneurship, leadership, and scaling a professional services business while maintaining a hands-on approach with clients. He explains how Sync Law expanded into estate planning, corporate law, and commercial transactions, and why differentiation, responsiveness, and relationship-building have been central to the firm’s success. Drawing from his own experience overcoming uncertainty and self-doubt, Bill shares practical insights on embracing change, building long-term client trust, and creating sustainable growth in a highly competitive industry.
