Showing possible clients what we can do for them requires more than advertising. We cannot acquire clients through law firm marketing strategies and tactics alone; we must earn them through trust. But how can people trust you if they aren't sure how you can assist them? In this episode, Moshe Amsel interviews the CEO Lawyer, Ali Awad — a well-known social media expert and personal injury attorney. He shares that harnessing social media is all about authenticity. It's not always about advertising; in fact, 90% of his content is educational. Moshe and Ali also discuss how to align your business model with your purpose and build a growth strategy around it. If you want to change your law firm marketing approach to create genuine connections and develop visibility, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ryan Anderson discuss:Challenges lawyers are having with technology.Solutions regarding document and task management for lawyers. How to handle conversations of record. Investing in your employees.  Key Takeaways:Make sure your systems are all on the cloud. The majority of law firms are still on servers, which are more easy to penetrate (from a security perspective) than the cloud is. Every document should be uploaded in a system that is searchable and organizable. Lawyers need to consider technologies and automations that are going to make their lives easier and more predictable because the world is changing and it is important to stay on top of those kinds of things. "It is amazing what will happen if an employee feels you're willing to invest in them." —  Ryan Anderson Connect with Ryan Anderson:  Website: https://www.filevine.com/Email: ryan@filevine.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-anderson-49a30740/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This week's episode the ladies chat with Julie Cromer Young. She went to undergrad at the University of Alabama and got her degree in diplomacy. After undergrad, Julie went to law school at Harvard law (YES just like Elle Woods!) She talks about how law school is law school. But in retrospect, she realizes how many great opportunities there were and how intellectually stimulating it truly was. Julie shares some of her biggest struggles and accomplishments while at Harvard. For instance, she is the first lawyer in her family, she went straight through from undergrad to law school, and while in law school she realized she didn't care for the subject that got her there. Her biggest tip, get context to how the law works. If you have the ability to take a year or two off before law school, then do it! #thelawdoesnotexistinavoidJulie's TOP tip for current law students, PAY ATTENTION TO LEGAL WRITING! She talks about how important legal writing is in the field and how understanding the structure is the key to success as a lawyer. Julie's first job out of law school was at K&L Gates where she started as a 2L. While there she tried to dabble in as many areas as she could to try and figure out what type of law interested her.  Julie was offered a post-bar position and described the tasks she worked on in the litigation department. She ended up falling in love with trademark and IP work, and at the very same time, the internet came into what we know it as today! Ultimately Julie worked at 4 different law firms after she decided IP law was for her, but after leaving the 3rd firm, she began to realize that she wanted something with more of an immediate impact. Que the idea of becoming a law professor!Julie attended an AALS course that covered becoming a law professor, step-by-step. She says being a law school professor can be nerve-racking, but her feet tingle when she is in the classroom.  Julie was a civil procedure teacher when she first started. Julie now works for Bryce Legal as a Legal Career Coach and Résumé Writer, so please reach out to her HERE if you want to chat with her more about anything we discussed today!Julie was also kind enough to explain to us what “Big Law” means to most people, while the term big law can mean something different to people based on where they live in the US. When trying to decide if a firm you are looking at falls into the big law category, look HERE at the AmLaw 100 list to see if it's on there. If not, look at how many lawyers work at the firm, how much money does the firm makes a year, and how many locations does the firm have. FACEBOOK GROUP

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Louis Goodman discuss:Marketing a law practice in the 90s and how it has evolved today. The power of SEO for your website. Creating good content to encourage backlinks to your website. Utilizing content across multiple platforms.  Key Takeaways:If you're going to put money into marketing, put money into SEO. People pick up their phone and do Google searches now, rather than picking up a phone book. You need to be visible for those who have an immediate problem and need an immediate solution. Repurpose content that you create to work across multiple platforms and find ways to encourage others to share links to the content you've created.  "The key is getting backlinks to your website. And the way you get backlinks to your website, is by having good content so that other websites will link to your website, and you want to encourage people to link to your website." —  Louis Goodman Connect with Louis Goodman:  Website: https://www.louisgoodman.com/Podcast: https://www.lovethylawyer.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2aeWsyfHKAfCEMgR7wD7bgTwitter: https://twitter.com/louisjgoodmanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Law-Office-of-Louis-J-Goodman-338125606393295/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In today's episode I talk about law firm scholarships. Recently, I remember seeing a post where someone raised the question about how to create a law firm scholarship. This individual had seen a lot about them and thought, “Hey, this seems like a really cool idea, and I want to help our local high school community.” So, in essence this scholarship would be a philanthropic tool used to help this person's small town. I loved that idea!    I'd like to share with that person and then ultimately share with you guys some of the thoughts around these scholarships and how to use them for the greatest good in your law firm.   Tune in to learn more about creating impactful law firm scholarships! In this episode we discuss: Creating a law firm scholarship. How creating a scholarship can impact SEO, driving traffic to your website. Partnering with local high schools and community colleges to promote your scholarship. The benefit of being highlighted as a provider of an asset to the local or national community. Considering the rules for your scholarship and the demographic profile required for applicants. Determining how to verify compliance to the guidelines for spending the scholarship money. Sharing your presentation of the scholarship on social media and everywhere possible.   Allison Bio:   Allison C.

In fact, I remember at one point in time I was helping my cousin. She's now a young woman in her late 20s, but I remember I was helping her to apply to go to college. And one of the things that was astounding to me was the fact that there was an entire service dedicated to helping high school students learn what scholarships were available. And I said, well, wouldn't we get that information when she gets into the different colleges? And the answer was yes and no.

The company's aim is 'creating a world without the fear of cancer'. He mentioned every company makes mistakes or sometimes customers think that the company has done something wrong and every sphere will have a problem that is unavoidable but how to respond and the key element to tackle those circumstances that determines everything. He works in the compliance department resolving disputes and problems. The mid-segment was about the work processes and balance, then he was asked about the SOPs in medical affairs i.e. standard operating procedures for clinical practice, he had prime approaches for the same - policies, SOPs, granular work construction, and it ought to be automation. He also mentioned mnemonic words that are important in this sphere. The conversation also included The Chicago Tylenol scandal ( these were a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982) concerning crisis management and how one can do a right recall.

This week on the podcast, we are diving into the importance of having core values and why your core values should be front and centre of your business.As a business owner with a team, life becomes much easier when you attract staff who share similar core values to the company they are part of. Having alignment in your business allows everything to flow freely.Core values in my law firm were something that I didn't have in place in the early days of my business. If you have a small team, you may not see the value of identifying your core values. However, from my experience, I wish I had identified the business core values earlier. I would have saved myself from making many mistakes, particularly around hiring!In my firm, we have engaged an external HR company to come in and consult with us from time to time, which has helped us to build upon our values and other aspects of our team structure. In my law firm, as a team, we created core, firstly with the leadership team, then with the team as a whole. Each team member stands by our core values and understands the importance of streamlining our mission.As a team of one, or as a team of many, implement your core values sooner rather than later. Create a day where you are offsite and use it as a team-building exercise. Each year, in my team, we go on a team retreat to debrief, relax, and reevaluate our core beliefs!Your core values are what helps to shape the vision and culture of your company. They are the essence of the companies identity and have many advantages, externally and internally. In the podcast, I discuss my business values and how they are applied to our work environment.If you want to uncover the secret sauce of how I have built my law firm to 7 figures, the Scalable Business Lounge is the place for you!

The more intellectual duties of this position involved substantial paper-folding, envelope-licking and a daily fight with the franking machine. However, the important part of the job was buzzing around Dublin on my 10-speed bike (with the dropdown handlebars), delivering the mail directly to various law offices and clients and thus eliminating the inevitable delays of the Dublin postal service.

In today's episode, I'm talking about firing your family from your law firm.  I know I have talked about the need for us to really have very clear boundaries with those that we employ so that we can get optimal performance out of our team, and how that is particularly necessary when you have family members in your law firm. Today, I want to expound upon that a little bit because I know that there are several people out there who started off their law firm not having a whole lot of revenue, not having a whole lot of clients. As a result, they had their spouse, or another family member, come into their law firm to provide some much-needed assistance.    I don't want to say that working with family never works. There is definitely a positive element to having family members in your law firm. But I want to talk about, in particular, the challenge of firing your family because so many people I know are contemplating that, and/or have already gone down that road- and there have been ripple effects.  In this episode we discuss: The challenge associated with having family work in your law firm. Setting boundaries when you add another person to your culture. Risking a claim if you treat employees differently. How different circumstances can determine the manner in which you fire someone. Remaining in the context of the employer when terminating a relative.   Allison Bio:   Allison C.

She's probably not going to say that if the new girl is your mom right, or if it is, if the relationship is the other way around. If you have had mom here for years and someone comes in, that person is going to have a different attitude toward your relatives than they might have toward just any other employee. And this doesn't have to be inherently bad, but it tends to be... not universal. But it tends to be that when somebody comes into a workplace, they are always looking for the hierarchy, right?

Revenue isn't the only number you should measure in your law firm. You think you're reaching your revenue goals until it's time to run payroll, and then you don't have enough money, or you didn't consider quarterly taxes. Now what? Our guest, Lydia Desnoyers, is a CPA and founder of DesCPA Business Advisory, LLC. She offers expertise in small business accounting, management consulting, tax, start-ups, entrepreneurship, Sarbanes-Oxley Act issues, white-collar criminal investigation, forensic accounting, fraud, identity theft, IRS resolutions, and more. When it comes to finances, many attorneys, even the most successful ones, feel shame or embarrassment when talking about their financials, often because they don't understand the numbers. Attorneys are skilled at practicing law, but many fail to run their firms as a business. Lydia takes a holistic approach to accounting and advising her clients. There are many different factors and things that can be tracked to measure the firm's overall performance. Every decision you make will impact your financials, and knowing your financials will help you make better decisions. It all starts with knowing your goals and understanding the value of the goals you've set for yourself. What You Will Learn in this Episode What should be measured in addition to revenue Why you need a holistic approach to running your business Where to look for savings in your software expense Why growth starts with your commitment to change How to overcome self-limiting beliefs that are preventing your growth The benefits of having a fractional or virtual CFO Connect with Lydia https://www.descpa.com/ https://www.instagram.com/descpaadvisory/ https://m.facebook.com/DesCPAAdvisory https://www.linkedin.com/company/descpa-advisory/ Connect with Molly Hiring & Empowering Solutions on Facebook www.hiringandempowering.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-hall

In today's episode I talk about law firm retreats. For me, this is a fun topic because I love talking about what we can do to up-level our law firms.    Even though I spend a lot of time talking about solving the problems of our law firms, I know that there are plenty of people who listen to this podcast and already have a fully systematized law firm. These firms aren't necessarily perfect or running at top speed, but they're established enough for law firm owners to feel comfortable enough to begin planning how to take their firms to the next level.     I've been asked recently how to create a law firm retreat, who should be involved, and how to make it a great experience. So, that's what I'll cover today. In this episode we discuss: How retreats can up-level your firm. Being very clear on the purpose of your retreat. Make your retreat an experience to re-energizing of themselves and their community. Choosing wisely a location for your team to have a nice experience. How important is it to keep people engaged, active, and participating during the retreat. The facilitator you are going to bring depends on what you choose to convey.   Allison Bio:   Allison C.

Now there's some logistical challenges with us having live retreats is that we had to move ourselves on to having a virtual experience. And a lot of people, after they started using Zoom for the first time, a lot of lawyers were not using Zoom, except for the occasional meeting here or there, but they certainly didn't live on Zoom. It became a real struggle to try to tell someone that you're going to have a good experience when you sit on a virtual platform for hours, and hours, and hours on end.

This week, an unusually modest wedding brought an end to four years of torment for Princess Mako of Japan and her 'commoner' husband Kei Komuro, as the newlyweds plan to quietly leave their home country for a new life in the United States. The usual pomp and ceremony of an Imperial wedding was nowhere to be seen, as public disapproval of the union has left Mako with PTSD, after conservatives hounded the couple because they felt her groom simply wasn't good enough to join the Royal family. To find out why this marriage has been so controversial, and what it tells us about the state of gender equality in Japan, The Quicky speaks to an expert in Japanese culture and history as we consider why the couple have been dubbed 'the new Harry and Meghan'.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Brooke Lively discuss:Running your law firm by the numbers. Secrets from Brooke's book, From Panic to Profit.Finding your baseline to manage and improve your numbers. The ideal ratio in your law firm's financials.  Key Takeaways:We have to pay more attention to the way we're running the firm and running it like a business than we used to.Rather than a budget, call it a profit plan to help you stay on track to hit your goals. If you know your revenue is going to be good for 3-4 months, then you can take marketing risks or even take a vacation. The further you look out, the more strategic you can become.  "If you don't know what it is you have nowhere to start, you have no way to improve it. Once we find that baseline, we start to manage that number, and things start to improve.
