I am an English lawyer of 15 years experience, hoping to launch a freelance translation career (German-English) in 2017. I currently have very little translation experience (but have a German degree and will take the DipTrans exams in January). How should I start off - by marketing myself to agencies? Approaching law firms direct? Or bidding for work through Proz to get experience? Any advice very welcome.

I would like to find a partner translator to work together as a trainee or intern in this specific area. It is legal translation Portuguese (CiLS) and English (CoLS). Yes, I'm the intern. :)
