Podcasts about legal business

In Episode 304 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with legal industry advisor Tim Corcoran about one of the most overlooked drivers of law firm profitability: pricing strategy. Many firms focus heavily on billable hours, origination credit, and revenue targets, but fail to connect the critical dots between how legal services are priced, how lawyers practice, and how firms ultimately generate profit. Tim explains why pricing is not just a finance function but a strategic leadership issue that directly affects client relationships, lawyer behavior, and long-term firm performance. The conversation explores practical ways law firms can move beyond traditional hourly billing toward value-based thinking, better matter management, and smarter pricing decisions. Tim shares how partners can improve profitability by understanding the economics of legal work, aligning incentives, and communicating value more clearly to clients. For law firm leaders, partners, and legal professionals looking to improve law firm profitability, pricing strategy, and client value, this episode provides actionable insights into connecting pricing, practice management, and business development.

In this episode of Ask Anything, Todd Burnham breaks down the fundamentals of scaling a law firm the right way — starting with identity, culture, and systems before marketing and growth.He shares a simple framework for sustainable scale, explains why great sales start with listening (not pitching), and unpacks the rising role of MSOs and private equity in reshaping the legal industry.Todd also covers hiring for work ethic, building a culture people stay for, and the “Zelda Hearts” concept — balancing health, family, and business so founders don't lose themselves while building.If you want to grow a firm without chasing tactics or burning out, this episode lays out the mindset and structure that actually drive long-term success.

ActionSA has rejected the Rates and Monetary Amounts Bill in the National Assembly, saying the legislation, as it stands, fuels the illicit economy and punishes legal business. Parliamentary member Alan Beesley told the House the country now has two economies: a legal one growing at barely one percent and an illegal one expanding at over six percent a year. He blamed repeated above-inflation excise duty hikes for making legal cigarettes, alcohol and other goods far more expensive than their illicit counterparts. Elvis Presslin spoke to ActionSA Member of Parliament, Alan Beesley

In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant (and dangerously fun) friend Berkley Sweetapple — attorney, entrepreneur, and the woman making legal protection feel like a power move instead of a panic attack. We're talking trademarks, contracts, client terms, and how to avoid those “oh sh*t” moments that every coach or creator eventually faces. But we're also talking dating, manifestation, and the kind of aligned energy that makes business feel like foreplay with the universe. Here's what we play with in this one: Why contracts are spells that protect your power (and your peace) The biggest legal mistakes online entrepreneurs make — and how to avoid them Trademarks, team hires, and protecting your IP without losing your vibe How to make sure your course or membership doesn't become someone else's copy-paste dream The one mindset shift that makes legal work feel like manifestation fuel The wild connection between dating energy, boundaries, and business protection   ✨ Try this: Set a timer, drop into your CEO energy, and ask yourself: “Where in my business am I trusting the vibe instead of protecting the vision?” Then… fix it.   Remember you are so resourced here are the ones mentioned in this episode: Follow Berkley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/berkleysweetapple/ https://www.thebusinessstudio.com/   Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!

What if you could finally understand what it really takes to grow as a lawyer beyond just practicing law? In this first part of a special two-part Be That Lawyer Live, Steve Fretzin brings together Daniel Scola, Eido Walny, and Karl Seelbach for a candid conversation you won't hear anywhere else. You'll be pulled into their stories, their struggles, and the strategies that shaped their careers in ways most attorneys never talk about openly. As you listen, you'll discover how much of this applies directly to you, wherever you are in your own journey. This episode isn't just about hearing from successful lawyers — it's about helping you see what's possible for yourself. In this episode, Steve, Daniel, Eido, and Karl discuss:Challenges lawyers face in business development and rainmakingImportance of consistent habits and time management in client growthRole of personal passions, networking, and authentic connections in practice-buildingLessons learned from mistakes that shape long-term legal careers Key Takeaways:Many lawyers struggle with rainmaking because they aren't taught marketing skills, and mentorship or coaching is often the turning point in learning business development.Time-blocking, using a CRM, and accountability partners are crucial for keeping business development efforts consistent and measurable.Combining personal passions (like car restoration or music) with client relationships creates authentic connections that naturally lead to new business opportunities.Asking directly for business and following through on promises builds trust, while overpromising or relying on others' client relationships can backfire. "Not overpromising is a really important one for me… you've got to deliver what you say." —  Daniel Scola "There are two things that this firm can never and no one can ever take away from you. That's your knowledge base and your contact base." —  Eido Walny "Clients aren't going to remember every case you handle, but they're never going to forget how you make them feel." —  Karl Seelbach Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.Thank you to our Sponsors!Rankings.io: https://rankings.io/Legalverse Media: https://legalversemedia.com/ Ready to grow your law practice without selling or chasing?

In this Legal Tuesday episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Lana Manganiello, law firm growth leader, business development coach, and lateral integration strategist, about why business development is career development. Lana explains that the skills and activities required to grow a book of business—building visibility, cultivating credibility, and developing strategic relationships—are the same ones that create career options, whether an attorney wants to make equity partner, move firms, or transition in-house. She emphasizes that investing in business development not only generates autonomy and control over your practice but also increases leverage within your current organization, allowing you to shape your role into something more fulfilling. Lana offers practical guidance on developing both internal and external strategic relationships, highlighting the value of connecting with colleagues, mentors, and professional staff inside the firm, as well as clients, referral sources, and industry contacts outside of it. She encourages attorneys to start now—regardless of career stage—to avoid missed opportunities, and to approach networking with authenticity, preparation, and mutual value. The episode closes with three action steps: reconnect with one contact this week, make your expertise visible, and say yes to an opportunity that aligns with your long-term goals, even if it feels uncomfortable.

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Jessica Fairchild—an extraordinary lawyer, entrepreneur, and advocate for a new kind of workplace culture. Jessica's story is one of continual reinvention, courageous pivots, and an unwavering commitment to values-driven leadership. Jessica is the co-founder and partner at Fairchild and Bair, a Chicago-based law firm built on flexibility, trust, and purpose. As you'll hear in our conversation, her 25-year legal career has not followed a traditional path. And that's exactly what makes her story so compelling. From Accounting Major to M&A Trailblazer Jessica didn't grow up dreaming of being a lawyer. In fact, she studied accounting in college and only considered law school after enjoying a business law class. With no attorneys in her immediate family, this leap was both unexpected and bold. But as she puts it, “I followed my gut.” After cutting her teeth in a large Chicago law firm, she took a big risk—leaving to become general counsel for Chicago's Olympic bid. That three-year detour turned out to be a pivotal moment in her journey. The experience showed her how law could intersect with leadership, creativity, and impact. It also sparked her entrepreneurial spirit. Building a Firm with Flexibility at Its Core Jessica founded her own firm in 2010, without a business plan but with a clear sense of purpose: to build a law practice where she—and others—could bring their authentic selves to work. In 2019, that mission expanded with the merger that formed Fairchild and Bair, alongside like-minded partners. Today, the firm boasts nearly 100 lawyers and a business model that reflects the realities and values of a new generation. What sets Jessica's approach apart? It's the deliberate culture of flexibility and inclusion. Whether accommodating a lawyer working remotely from Madrid or welcoming professionals who've stepped away from the workforce, the firm embraces nonlinear career paths. “We meet people where they are,” Jessica explains. That philosophy has helped them attract top talent from firms where rigid structures no longer fit. If you would like to watch our interview, it is on YouTube: Law as Business, Practice, and Purpose Jessica is as much a business leader as she is a legal expert. She emphasizes that today's law firms must be more than traditional billable-hour machines. They must be responsive to change, open to new technologies (including AI), and built around human-centered leadership. Her firm is exploring how AI can make legal work more efficient—not to replace lawyers, but to empower them. And in a profession where many still define themselves by their titles or roles, Jessica is carving out space for lawyers to live full, multidimensional lives. As she wisely notes, “You've got to find a place where you can be your authentic self.” Key Takeaways Jessica offers two powerful insights for all professionals—not just lawyers: Find a place where you can be your authentic self. If your current environment doesn't support who you are, there are others that will. Think of your career as a journey, not a destination. Jessica's path has included pivots, risks, and new beginnings. That's what made it rich and meaningful. Why This Matters Now This episode couldn't come at a better time. With workplaces in flux, AI reshaping industries, and the next generation demanding purpose and flexibility, Jessica's story provides a blueprint for a new kind of leadership—one that balances innovation with humanity.

New attorneys often leave law school with a lot of ideas about how the legal system works, but they typically don't know much about the business of being a lawyer. How do law firms make money? How do they govern themselves? And what trends are shaping the law firms where they will work? On this episode of On the Merits, Bloomberg Law's Roy Strom spoke with Kevin Burke, a former chairman at Hinshaw & Culbertson who's now teaching law students the answers to these and other questions about the industry they soon will join. Burke's course at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law focuses on the nuts and bolts of law firm financials, operations, and marketing. His students also explore the future of legal practice. Burke tells Roy that students today are more interested than ever to understand the workplaces where they will make their careers. They're also surprisingly optimistic about what artificial intelligence might mean for their work lives. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Scott Simmons discuss:Effective time management in the legal professionDeveloping habits and accountability for consistent business developmentBuilding a client-focused business model in lawOvercoming personal and systemic barriers to success in legal business development Key Takeaways:Allocating just 30 minutes weekly to business development can compound into significant progress over time, enabling lawyers to take control of their career trajectory.Transitioning from billable hours to value-based or subscription pricing models requires not just a pricing shift but a comprehensive business model overhaul.Lawyers must use tools like LinkedIn and existing client relationships to secure referrals effectively; over 90% of clients are willing to refer, yet only 8% of lawyers ask for them.Small, incremental habit changes, such as reading a chapter a week or posting on LinkedIn weekly, are more sustainable and impactful than attempting major shifts all at once. "What business development does is give you options, leverage, and control over your career choices. We're not taught this, and.....it's not something covered in law school." —  Scott Simmons Got a challenge growing your law practice?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ben Paul discuss:AI in modern business development for legal professionalsBuilding and sustaining client relationships in a competitive legal marketEnhancing personal branding and marketingNavigating economic challenges and their impact on legal services Key Takeaways:AI tools like ChatGPT can assist lawyers in creating business development strategies and optimizing content, but human review is essential to ensure accuracy and relevance to the legal context.Lawyers should track their market share rather than just focusing on revenue fluctuations, as maintaining or increasing market share during a downturn can still lead to business growth.AI can greatly enhance the efficiency of content creation and client outreach, but all outputs should be carefully checked to ensure they align with legal regulations and client expectations.Consistent use of AI-powered personal branding, such as automated LinkedIn posting, can significantly increase a lawyer's digital presence and client engagement, as shown by a case study where impressions jumped from 800 to 4,000 per week. "[AI is] a habitual liar. It wants to please you. It wants to give you the answer. It will always give you an answer, whether it's factually based or not.

While understanding the client's needs is a fundamental skill in legal business development,  traditional protocols and precedents can inadvertently hinder business growth.

Podcast host, Charlie Uniman, and Steve Fretzin discuss: Lawyers need training in business development and client relations, which is not taught in law school. Technology can help lawyers be more efficient, so they have time for business development.   Social media is a great marketing equalizer that allows individual lawyers, as well as small-to-medium-sized firms, to build their brand and get their voice out, social media's certainly not just for big firms.   Automating scheduling, email outreach, and content creation through technology frees up lawyer time and builds relationships through organization and consistency.   Becoming a thought leader takes consistency and multiple touches, through content creation, networking, writing, and speaking engagements. Business coaches can help too.   Leveraging virtual assistants, marketing professionals, and technologies like chatGPT allows lawyers to focus on their strengths and delegate marketing tasks.   Tracking marketing data and metrics helps assess what's working through things like CRMs (though CRM adoption is slow).    Investing time and money in marketing coaching provides high ROI through increased business and, in larger firms, control over one's career. Lawyers should learn enough to guide the process rather than do it all.   Steve's website: https://www.fretzin.com/ All Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast episodes at:  https://legalfocus.libsyn.com/

In this episode I speak with Jay Harrington who is one of the country's leading consultants and strategists in the areas of legal marketing, PR, and business development. His consulting work includes helping clients define strong market positioning, develop effective thought-leadership strategies, gain visibility through public relations, and generate new business through the execution of marketing tactics. In addition to running his own agency, he is the author of three books (The Productivity Pivot, the Essential Associate, and One of a Kind) that teach lawyers how to develop their business, manage their time, and stand out both in their firm and in the legal world more broadly. I first learned about Jay through his wonderful LinkedIn profile where he posts thought provoking (but not cookie cutter) ideas about how to succeed in the practice of law daily to more than 13,000 followers. Jay started his legal career at the law firms of Skadden Arps and Foley & Lardner and also opened his own boutique law firm in Detroit focused on bankruptcy and restructuring before moving to legal marketing work and coaching full-time. In our conversation we covered a lot including: his path from Big Firm lawyer thrust into bankruptcy work in the wake of 9/11, to boutique bankruptcy lawyer in Detroit during the automative bankruptcy crises, to leading an agency that teaches and supports lawyers in building brands and marketing themselves better; the importance of finding and serving a niche instead of being all things to all clients; how to build a personal brand as a junior lawyer without coming of as sleazy or disingenuous; how to gain expertise and then position yourself as an expert that clients want to work with; the power of investing in yourself as a lawyer while also doing good work and being an integral part of your team; and more.

EPISODE #2.5:  The Heart of Law with Willie D. Powells III Have you ever met a true brainbox? Someone intrepidly astute? Someone so capable, they can accomplish almost everything they set their mind to do? Wait until Mirena introduces you to her friend and present-day Renaissance man, Willie D. Powells III. He and our incisive host talk nineteen-to-the-dozen on today's Heart of Law episode, showing us a cerebral way of living life to the fullest. Thanks to his wise father who encouraged Willie to explore diverse academic fields before committing himself to the life of a physician, Willie did nothing less than reach for the stars. Calling himself a professional student, he shares his inspiring scholastic journey at Drexel University while under the wing of his genius mentor, Cato T. Laurencin, M.D., Ph.D., and revisits how he became an accomplished academician through and through. He conquered the GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, became an athlete, a concert violinist, a pianist, a chemical engineer, a biologist, holds an MBA, and graduated with multiple dual degrees alongside a law degree to boot! What can't Willie do? How did he do it all in less than record time?   On the one hand, Willie's stint with ExxonMobil allowed him a glimpse of the chemical engineering industry; on the other hand, Willie's subsequent work with Wendy Buskop Law Group immersed him in patent law—jump-starting his legal career. Down the road, Willie decided to make a seismic shift in his legal track after his sister asked basic legal questions he could not answer, “I can tell you about engineering and the law—all of this sophisticated intellectual property stuff—But the very common, everyday issue that you would expect a lawyer to know about, like divorce or somebody [getting placed] in jail … I couldn't answer!” He questioned the direction of his legal career after that encounter. With his beautiful, brand new, very expensive, black Corvette staring him straight in the eye, he pivoted. Willie “hung the shingle out” by joining forces with Irvin Gadson, George Tennant, and Derek Harmon. He began a new kind of education; Willie learned the ropes of criminal law, courtroom life, and how a boutique litigation practice should run. And ran with it, he did. A few years later, Willie set off to open his firm, the Law Offices of Willie Powells III & Associates, PLLC. As much as his entrepreneurial background and business acumen helped establish his nascent practice, Willie prudently did every menial and mundane task himself. He paid thoughtful attention to minute aspects of his business: humble enough to cut overhead costs, wise enough to choose strategic branding fitting his vision, and patient enough to personalize his services for every client. As Mirena points out, now Willie is a huge celebrity lawyer in Texas.  Willie's inspired enthusiasm for living and learning certainly fills the air and is nothing but contagious. While he talks with so much vim about what he learned (and continues to learn), Willie echoes what we have heard: If we put our whole heart into it, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to do. Because he vigorously lives by this tenet day after humble day, we believe him. So, let's get to it! Let's learn. Let's live.

"What happens is you get the experience, you make some mistakes, you learn from them and now [you] get a fresh start." "If you come to my practice, we want to give you a world-class experience. We are changing the game from within." "We're very happy for opportunities to grow because we know when we grow, we reach out and help other people grow along with us. And, bit by bit, that's how we make our community, our city, our state, our country, our world a better place." "We definitely have our problems, but in the world we live in, if you [know] what you're doing right and helping people, you're [doing] great. There are no limits!" "Let's go to the new echelon. Let's go to the unknown. Let's go to space … It's been a work in progress, but [discovery] is something that takes on a life of its own. As long as I get out of the way, I am [not] going to miss the shot."

Tim Corcoran is a keynote speaker, author, legal commentator, and the Principal of Corcoran Consulting Group. Tim is also a Trustee and Fellow of the College of Law Practice Management, former President of the Legal Marketing Association and a member of its Hall of Fame, an American Lawyer Research Fellow, a Teaching Fellow at the Australian College of Law's Master in Legal Business program, and a frequent presenter at lawyer retreats and legal conferences. Tim's mission is to guide law firms and leaders through the profitable disruption of outdated business models — including compensation. With over two decades as a senior corporate executive and a deep understanding of the psychology and economics of change, he knows how to navigate challenging discussions masterfully using actionable advice. In this episode… Many compensation models were put into place generations ago — and haven't been updated since. Why is it so important to adjust your compensation plan with the evolving industry, and how can you transition? The market is changing, forcing law firms of all sizes to demonstrate their expertise in order to sell against steeper competition. Nowadays, compensation should be based more on an individual's skillsets and contributions — rather than seniority. Although a compensation model is not a one-size-fits-all approach, your firm should be looking to reward innovation and talented employees who are winning more work for the company. Fortunately, Tim Corcoran says adjusting a compensation plan is not as complicated as you might think. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge Podcast, Elise Holtzman is joined by Tim Corcoran, Principal at Corcoran Consulting Group, to talk about the best ways your firm can update its compensation model. Tim discusses the outdated compensation methods — and why it's important to evolve with the market, changes that impact how law firms should compensate, and where to begin when looking to update your model.

When is the last time you reviewed your business documentation?

Alex Juncu of Juncu Legal talks to us about the uniqueness and specialization of Contract Law and why it's so crucial to have an attorney review your legal documents, contracts, offer letters, etc. We learn a lot about the HOW of how you run your business, and if you don't control your own terms and conditions in your everyday strategy, you will be subject to someone else's terms and conditions. Put your best foot forward, continue to learn, and be proactive when it comes to your legal considerations. The Law Offices of Alexandru Juncu website This podcast is for informational purposes only.
