Most attorneys never realize that their receptionist, appointment setters, and client care team are just as critical to revenue as the attorneys themselves. You'll see why building out these roles in the right order creates profit, freedom, and a stronger client experience. Watch now to discover how the smartest firms grow without adding more hours to the lawyer's plate.If you'd like to discover more practical ways to improve the business model of your law firm, click here: thelawfirmsecret.com

5 Reasons to Use a Big Law Firm.

In episode #577 of Lawyerist Podcast, discover how to use AI to drive firm growth, expand practice areas, and strengthen client relationships while avoiding the trap of treating it as a simple efficiency tool. Too often, conversations about AI in law stop at shaving time off tasks or reducing headcount, but AI holds far more potential than cost-cutting. Innovation strategist Sam Harden explains why firms should resist the temptation to view AI as a staff replacement and instead embrace it as a growth engine. By experimenting with generative tools and even “vibe coding,” lawyers can create new services, improve client experiences, and reach entirely new markets. Rather than narrowing practice, AI can open doors to expansion, innovation, and more sustainable business models—helping firms future-proof themselves in a rapidly evolving market.  Ideal for growth-minded lawyers, firm leaders, and legal innovators who want to use AI strategically to scale smarter, serve better, and stay ahead.  Links From the Episode:  https://samharden.substack.com/  https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/for-the-innocent/  https://tabs3.com/seetabs3/    Listen to our other episodes on AI & Legal Innovation:  #565: Becoming the AI Driven Leader, with Geoff Woods Apple | Spotify | LTN  #562: Beyond ChatGPT: The AI Revolution Happening Inside Your Firm, with Charreau Bell Apple | Spotify | LTN  #555: How to Use AI and Universal Design to Empower Diverse Thinkers with Susan Tanner Apple | Spotify | LTN  #553: AI Tools and Processes Every Lawyer Should Use with Catherine Sanders Reach Apple | Spotify | LTN  #452: Managing AI in Your Practice, with Ed Walters Apple | Spotify | LTN    If today's podcast resonates with you and you haven't read The Small Firm Roadmap Revisited yet, get the first chapter right now for free!

Distressed debt exchanges in the form of liability-management exercises are set to take off in Europe, according to Gibson Dunn, the US-based law firm. “You’re getting the same lawyers and bankers hired in Europe for deals that they do here — it’s not surprising that they would potentially roll out a playbook that’s worked,” Scott Greenberg, the firm’s global chair of business restructuring and reorganization, tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Stephen Flynn in the latest Credit Edge podcast. “It’s a natural progression to take that expertise and bring it to your clients overseas,” says Greenberg, who notes elevated levels of distress in France. We also discuss the likelihood of an imminent US LME revival, the bankruptcy outlook and communications sector stress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Law firms love their SOPs—binders full of screenshots, arrows, and step-by-step instructions. But here's the problem: they take months to build, cost thousands to produce, and go out of date the moment software updates. There's a better way. In this episode, I break down how forward-thinking lawyers are replacing outdated SOPs with AI-powered prompt libraries that actually get work done. You'll hear real examples, learn why prompts are more reliable than manuals, and see how this simple shift can save your firm hours every week. If your SOP binder feels more like dead weight than a useful tool, this episode will show you what to do instead.

Jami Wintz McKeon, Chair of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, joins Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to share her journey from associate to leading one of the world's largest law firms.

She also discusses Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP's approach to expansion, the role of client needs in shaping growth, and how the firm has embraced AI as an opportunity to strengthen client service.   Jami's advice for fellow and future law firm leaders is straightforward: you have to love the firm, the people, and the responsibility itself. She shares how gratitude and family keep her grounded and why focusing on what's working is as critical as addressing what isn't. At its core, this episode is a look at what it means to lead with both strategy and heart in an industry defined by constant change.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00  Jami Wintz McKeon's Path to Becoming a Law Firm Leader 02:54  Defining Career Turning Points at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP 05:36  Leading with Connection and Caring for Firm Members 08:28  Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP Global Growth Strategy 13:40  Artificial Intelligence in Law Firms and Client Service 16:35  Advice for Current and Aspiring Law Firm Leaders 20:20  Staying Grounded Through Gratitude and Family 25:40  Inspiration and Leadership Philosophy 29:38  Looking Ahead: The Future of Law Firm Leadership   Links Connect with Jami Wintz McKeon: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jami-wintz-mckeon-1b993746/ Web bio: https://www.morganlewis.com/bios/jmckeon   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company web profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Episode Summary When I first started my firm, I had no roadmap. I worked hard, said yes to everything, and pushed forward with trial and error. Looking back, I wish I had a clear framework to show me where to focus and what systems to build at each stage. That's exactly why I created the Law Firm Roadmap. In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I'm sharing the five stages of growth that every law firm goes through, the challenges you'll face at each stage, and the systems, people, and strategies you need to move forward with confidence. What You'll Hear in This Episode The five stages of law firm growth I've identified through my own experience and coaching hundreds of firm owners: Startup, Survival, Stability, Scale, and Success. Why every stage has its own challenges — and how knowing your stage helps you focus on the right priorities. The five pillars of growth I guide my clients through: attracting clients, numbers & pricing, systems & processes, team & people, and legal service delivery. How I navigated these stages myself, including the systems that saved me time, the hires that transformed my firm, and the shifts in mindset that kept me moving forward. Why trying to “jump ahead” is one of the biggest mistakes firm owners make — and how to avoid it. My Key Takeaways for You You don't need to do everything at once. Growth is about doing the right things for the stage you're in. A $300k firm doesn't need executive dashboards, and a $3M firm shouldn't be operating off spreadsheets. When you know where you are on the roadmap, you can make decisions with confidence, reduce overwhelm, and build a firm that gives you freedom as well as profit.

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Cybertify, we unpack why legal practices are increasingly such attractive targets for cyber criminals, the ways they get past defences, and what firms can do to ensure that the “doors are locked”. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with William Welch, the principal solutions architect for the legal sector and AI security at Cybertify, about who the company is and the work he does, why the risks inherent with cyber security are so much more prominent for Australian law firms at present, why every business is a potential target, the need for “locked doors”, why law firm owners aren't fully across the dangers, and the lessons and takeaways from recent breaches in the legal space. Welch also delves into what BigLaw practices need to be doing right now, ensuring systems are talking to each other properly and having the right point people, what SMEs must be doing at present, the questions those smaller firms need to be asking, overcoming concerns about being time-poor, understanding the changing landscape, and how best Cybertify can help.

Secret Personal Injury Law Firm Tax Strategy.

In 1973, three young lawyers founded Heenan Blaikie in Montreal, which grew to be a prominent Canadian law firm with notable members, including former political leaders. Despite its close-knit atmosphere, the firm faced significant internal issues, leading to its collapse in 2014. Adam Dodek, an impartial observer, examines the firm's rise and fall, highlighting its unique culture alongside underlying problems like workplace bullying, challenges for women and minorities, and sexual harassment. The narrative is contextualized within broader societal changes, including economic shifts and crises. Dodek's thorough investigation serves as an essential read for legal professionals and those interested in the dynamics of corporate failure. Adam Dodek is a professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. Among his numerous publications are In Search of the Ethical Lawyer; The Canadian Constitution, Third Edition, named by the Hill Times as one of the top 100 books on Canadian public policy; and Solicitor-Client Privilege, which won the Walter Owen Book Prize. He is a recipient of the Canadian Association of Law Teachers Prize for Academic Excellence, the Mundell Medal for excellence in legal writing, and the Law Society of Ontario's Law Society Medal. He is also a director of the Canadian Association for Legal Ethics and the Canadian Legal Information Institute, and a past governor of the Law Commission of Ontario.

Catch up on the episode before the event and get inspired!  In this episode, we sit down with Mike Morse to explore his unexpected journey to building one of the most successful law firms in the country. Mike shares how his original vision of practicing law alongside his father was tragically cut short, leading him to question his path. A sudden firing from his first legal job pushed him into entrepreneurship, where he discovered the power of taking control of his destiny. Through perseverance, strategic growth, and a commitment to innovation, Mike transformed his firm into a powerhouse—one that now settles hundreds of millions of dollars in cases annually. Mike discusses the challenges and rewards of scaling a business, the importance of a growth mindset, and the lessons he's learned from hiring the right people. He also dives into his "Fireproof" philosophy, explaining how resilience, smart marketing, and a strong leadership team have made his firm unstoppable—even in the face of unexpected disasters. Whether you're a lawyer, entrepreneur, or business leader, Mike's insights on mindset, leadership, and innovation are sure to leave you inspired. Takeaways: Sometimes, unexpected setbacks, like losing a job, can be the catalyst for starting something bigger. Rather than staying in an unfulfilling position, leaping into entrepreneurship can lead to long-term success.Success isn't just about working harder; it's about continually learning, adapting, and being open to new opportunities. Embracing a growth mindset allows businesses to scale beyond initial expectations.Building a strong team, including a second-in-command, can make a huge difference in a company's ability to grow and operate efficiently. The right hires contribute to sustainable expansion and long-term stability.Connecting with an audience through humor, relatability, and authenticity can set a brand apart.

A well-structured business model ensures stability in the face of adversity.Philanthropy and community involvement not only create a positive impact but also strengthen a company's reputation and purpose, reinforcing the idea that business success should be about more than just profits

Most law firm owners think scaling means working harder, hiring more people, or pushing through the chaos—but why does growth still feel unsustainable? They're pouring energy into complex systems, tolerating mediocrity, and wondering why progress is so slow. The truth is, they're making the same three fundamental mistakes that quietly sabotage their ability to scale.   In this second part of the series, based on The Science of Scaling by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Melissa breaks down exactly what those mistakes are and how they show up in your firm. From avoiding goal setting altogether to pursuing conflicting priorities, these errors keep you stuck in linear growth patterns. She explains the psychology behind why your brain needs clear goals, what happens when you aim too low, and why having multiple competing objectives guarantees you won't scale.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/325   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@velocitywork

He currently resides in Ortega with his wife, Ashley, their two children, and their Italian Greyhound dog, Olive. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT LAW FIRM GROWTH  As a young lawyer, Charlie Jimerson had his pick of opportunities and began his career at a traditional Biglaw firm. But it didn't take long for him to feel disenchanted with what he saw—an industry clinging to outdated models that didn't truly serve clients. Not even four years into practice, Charlie founded Jimerson Birr as a values-driven law firm committed to doing things differently. He believed law firms could grow by focusing on service, quality, and results instead of billable hours and burnout. That conviction shaped his approach to building a practice centered on client needs, predictable pricing, and strong culture. By replacing outdated habits with clear processes and accountability, Charlie set out to prove that sustainable growth is possible without sacrificing relationships or outcomes. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, Elise talks with Charlie about how rethinking the billable hour can fuel law firm growth. He shares how subscription pricing and disciplined processes create more value for clients, how AI can enhance efficiency without replacing human judgment, and why culture and leadership are essential to long-term success. Charlie also explains why he sees pressure as a privilege and why “the way it's always been done” is the most dangerous mindset holding firms back. 2:06 - The inspiration for Jimerson Birr's founding and identity 5:21 - Problems with the billable hours model of many legal organizations 9:12 - What's necessary for the legal industry to start retreating from the billable hour crutch 14:37 – Value-based and subscription pricing around four core areas and three package tiers 21:15 – Why there should still be room made for the billable hour when necessary 24:56 - Three biggest things learned from client surveys that impacted changes within the firm  27:43 - How Charlie uses AI to enhance his organization's practice  32:20 - Hiring principles and cultural philosophy of Jimerson Birr 34:45 – Why Charlie views pressure as a privilege and its impact on his choices 37:28 - Essentials to focus on and the mentality law firm leaders need to reject so the industry can evolve MENTIONED IN RETHINKING THE BILLABLE HOUR FOR SUSTAINABLE LAW FIRM GROWTH Jimerson Birr | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Follow Charlie B.
