In Episode 17 of Lawyerpreneur, we talk with Stephen Embry about how he has transitioned from spending most of his time practicing law to writing and consulting about legal tech because it's the work that recharges him. We discuss the importance of networking and building trust equity with clients and potential clients during an absence of in-person meetings. Finally, Embry talks about how remote working environments may give law firms an opportunity to decrease overhead and even ... wait for it ... decrease billable hourly rates [gasp]. Doing the work that keeps you charged up (~12:30). Working remotely and embracing change (~25:00). Building trust equity and networking in the time of coronavirus (~32:30). An opportunity to decrease hourly rates (~41:00).Jeremy W.

In Episode 13 of Lawyerpreneur, I discuss ideas about making sure your law firm is working for you, having a vision for your law practice, developing S.M.A.R.T. goals to see your vision through to achievement, and implementing metrics to monitor your progress. All of which is necessary for you to have a meaningful and sustainable practice that is successful on your own terms.Jeremy W.
