Are you holding your firm back by being too frugal with your business tools? Many law firm owners fall into the trap of cutting corners on essential tools, forcing their teams to cobble together inefficient processes that ultimately create drag throughout the entire organization.   In this episode, Melissa explains the difference between “expense thinking” and “investment thinking.” Expense thinking focuses on saving money right now, keeping firms stuck in reactive survival mode. Investment thinking, by contrast, considers what the business needs to operate at a high level both today and in the future.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.velocitywork.com/310

We're starting to see the impact of a string of deals reached over the last two months between President Donald Trump and top law firms. Some firms appear to be moving on—and even thriving—after pledging hundreds of millions of dollars in free legal services on causes backed by the White House to avoid punitive executive orders like those Trump has lobbed at others. At least three firms that made deals are primed to cash in on Saudi Arabia's plan to invest $1 trillion in the US, thanks to their ties to a leading sovereign wealth fund: Latham & Watkins, A&O Sherman, and Kirkland & Ellis. Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, meanwhile, is seeing the downside of doing a deal with Trump. A string of partners have headed for the exit since the firm's agreement with Trump was announced, including some who left because of their opposition to the deal. Justin Henry joins fellow Bloomberg Law reporter Roy Strom on this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, to talk about these two developments and about why it's still too soon to say whether law firms that acquiesced to the president made the right move.

In this candid and empowering episode, Victoria Collier breaks down one of the biggest mindset roadblocks law firm buyers face: the fear of debt.  Through personal stories, real-life examples, and strategic insights, she shares how successful entrepreneurs use leverage, how lawyers can adopt that mindset, and why refusing to use debt may be costing you more than you think.

In a meticulously and persuasively reasoned 112-page legal opinion, DC Federal Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that Donald Trump's Executive Order punishing the law firm Perkins Coie is unconstitutional.The case is over, as Judge Howell granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs - Perkins Coie (though the case likely will be appealed by Trump).In a particularly powerful passage, Judge Howell notes that Trump has put a "cringe-worthy twist" on the Shakespeare line, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." The judge wrote that Trump's approach in his unconstitutional Executive Order is, "Let's kill the lawyers I don't like".If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The trio discuss the inevitable changes impacting law firms, from the integration of non-legal professionals to the ongoing debate around the billable hour in the age of AI.

This week, we're covering the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) decision to halt enforcement of the Biden-era independent contractor rule, the upcoming EEO-1 reporting season (starting on May 20), and New York State's new labor law amendment, reducing damages for first-time frequency-of-pay violations.­ DOL Halts Enforcement of Independent Contractor Rule The DOL will no longer enforce the Biden-era independent contractor rule, which sought to tighten the criteria under which a hired worker can be considered an independent contractor for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The agency will now revert to the less stringent "economic realities" test. EEO-1 Reporting Begins Soon The proposed 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection season is scheduled to begin on May 20, with a deadline to file by June 24. As expected, Component 2 pay data collection will not be required this year or in the coming years. New York Amends Labor Law to Limit Damages in Frequency-of-Pay Lawsuits New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law a budget bill that includes an amendment to the New York Labor Law that dramatically limits the relief employees can seek for first-time violations of frequency-of-pay provisions.  Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw390 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/subscribe/ Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

Two years ago, Max Junestrand was pitching his legal AI tool in Stockholm. Today, he leads one of the fastest-growing and most talked-about startups in the legal tech space. In this episode, Mary sits down with the CEO of Legora to unpack what's really happening at the intersection of AI and the legal industry—and what's coming next. In this episode: Zero to Ninety: How Legora grew from 3 co-founders in a tiny room to nearly 90 employees in under two years—and why growth at that pace is both exhilarating and challenging. The AI Arms Race: Why Max thinks we're past the “zero to one” moment in legal AI, and what “ten to one hundred” really looks like. Enterprise First: Legora's bold move to build for big firms from day one—and how they won over skeptical managing partners and corporate buyers. The ROI Reckoning: As CFOs tighten the purse strings in 2025, Max breaks down how law firms are thinking about pilots, platform fatigue, and showing real business impact. Training the Next Generation: Will AI kill the associate path? Max offers a candid take on why firms may not need as many junior lawyers—and why that doesn't mean the end of meaningful legal careers. Product or People? Mary and Max dive into why early buyers are betting more on startup teams than the tech itself—and how Legora is trying to earn that trust. The End of Point Solutions: With AI tools multiplying daily, Max predicts a shakeout is coming—and explains why orchestration and seamless user experience will win. Whether you're trying to roll out legal AI across a global firm or just keeping tabs on the tools reshaping the industry, this episode delivers a rare, candid look from a founder at the center of the storm.

The Trump administration's attacks on law firms are having ripple effects on the general counsel whose companies employ those firms. Top attorneys at many large companies may be considering whether to switch the firms they use as outside counsel, according to Bloomberg Law reporter Brian Baxter. In some cases, GCs don't want to work with a firm that's under attack from President Donald Trump; in other cases, they may feel uncomfortable that the firm struck a deal with the White House. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law editor Jessie Kokrda Kamens speaks with Baxter about what GCs are telling him and why they may be ready for a change. Kamens also speaks with Sara Kropf, partner at the firm Kropf Moseley Schmitt, about which types of companies are most likely to want to switch firms and why actually doing this is much harder than it seems.

In this episode, I sat down with my good friend Brittany Alexander — lawyer, entrepreneur, and founder of Premier Property Law — and let me tell you… this one is packed. We talked about how she went from working insurance defense to running her own firm, building systems that actually give her time freedom, and how showing up on social media literally changed her life (and business). We got into team structure, leadership, automations, content strategy, and what it really looks like behind the scenes when you're building something real in this space — especially as a woman leading in a male-dominated industry. If you're in law, business, or just trying to figure out how to get your systems together and stand out online, don't miss this one.

Send us a textTeacher's Appreciation AND Mother's Day in the same week?! Boy what a packed show! Each year we highlight amazing teachers that help shape our children's lives every single day.  This year we welcomed back Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard! This time he is an AUTHOR! We are so happy for him as he starts out this exciting new portion of his platform!  Meet Greg Smedley-Warren, affectionately known as “Mr. Greg,” an experienced, current  kindergarten educator and the creative mind behind The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. With an impressive 19-year teaching journey, Greg's expertise spans various grade levels, including a brief stint in fifth grade and two years in second grade. However, it was a reluctant transition to kindergarten that unveiled his true passion and calling.  Never wanting  to teach kindergarteners, Greg's journey took a turn when he discovered an instant connection on the very first day of kindergarten.   From that moment on, he knew kindergarten was his calling.   Fuelled by his dedication to his students, Greg has proudly remained in the kindergarten classroom for 16 years, continually inspired by the boundless energy and curiosity of his students. Mr. Greg posted something that went absolutely VIRAL and he and his husband have not looked back since! To learn more about Mr. Greg go to thekindergartensmorgasboard.com.__________________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we celebrate the mamas out there.

And then forward, we've annoyed each other ever since! I love Beck. She is the model of resiliency. But what really shines is our ability to be the best damn mom on this planet. Her son is 13 now and they live their BEST LIVES let me tell you. Living with Lupus and ongoing health issues, Becky is an exemplary mom, cat lover, and human. I am so grateful the universe catapulted our paths to align.   I asked Becky to write another article in addition to being a guest this week on the show. And she done blew my damn mind. She came out the damn closet!!!! AND I was the first person she came out to! Unbeknownst to me! Love you, Beck. And to all the other mama's- including my 3 moms....

Long established legal norms continue to be challenged by Trump's Justice Department, leading Andrew and Mary to emphasize how the courts have grown increasingly frustrated with the administration's tactics. They begin with last Thursday's ruling from Judge Rodriguez in Texas, that Trump was unjustified in using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. After a review of what that means for his ‘extraction' efforts, Andrew and Mary go deep on an assessment made public from the National Intelligence Council, that indicates despite Trump's presidential proclamation evoking the Alien Enemies Act, intelligence officials do not see a strong link between the Venezuelan government and Tren de Aragua. And lastly this week, they look at the latest judicial pushback on Trump's attempts to threaten law firms, after Judge Beryl Howell ruled against his targeting of Perkins Coie by executive order.Further reading: Here is the assessment from the National Intelligence Council on the relationship between the Maduro government and Tren de Aragua, courtesy of the New York Times.Want to listen to this show without ads?
