Setting up small firm

I know most of you are interested in MC and big ass firms, but I am long pass that and there is one thing I crave more than anything: independence. So I am more and more thinking about giving up my in house position, finding a few like-minded solicitors and set up something small, but as I want it.

Anyone out there did it? I have some experience in running a firm from A to Z so that really doesn't worry me.
