In this “Super Episode,” host Adriana Linares is joined by Stephanie Everett, a host for the Lawyerist podcast on the Legal Talk Network and the chief growth officer, lab coach, and speaker with Lawyerist, a firm dedicated to helping solo and small legal practices flourish in every area including marketing, finance, staffing, and legal tech. Twice the hosting! Together, they tackle the transition to flat-fee billing and explain how it can sometimes be a better solution for lawyers and their clients. Clients are used to the traditional billable hour, but in reality, they aren't paying for your time, they are paying for results. They are paying you for what you achieve. So why not bill that way? This doesn't have to be all or nothing. Some jobs can be better handled with a straight up, flat fee or a subscription model. Others may still require hourly billing. Or maybe one part of the case is a set amount, with hourly add-ons if the case drags on. The goal is never to see your practice earn less revenue, but flat-fee billing can benefit both client and lawyer. Think of how many times clients were afraid to call you or chat a bit to build a relationship because they worried the clock was ticking. Hear how you can try it out, “play with” a rate shift. Maybe even present clients with an option. If you've been curious about how flat-fee billing can work, this is the episode for you. Questions or ideas about solo and small practices? Drop us a line at NewSolo@legaltalknetwork.com Topics: Flat-fee billing? It can be done, and it can offer advantages to both clients and law firms. Clients are paying for results, not “hours. How you price your services doesn't have to be one way or the other. It can be both. Some tasks can be set for a straight up, transparent flat fee. Others may work best at an hourly rat Explaining fees to clients is a new concept. But clients often warm up to new ways of doing things if they're given the chance and understand their options. It starts with honest, clear conversations. (Don't forget to help your own staff understand, too.)

Are you a believer of the old idea that "the customer is always right?" What happens when that rule comes into conflict with a trusted employee? Is there room for a better, more holistic approach to your firm's service? Our guest this week, Stephanie Everett, is here to advocate for a people-focused, not just client-focused, approach to running your firm and serving your clients. Stephanie is the VP of Community Success at Lawyerist and runs her own law firm consulting and growth coaching firm. Stephanie and I discuss what it means to be people-focused and how many firm owners and managers often miss the mark by putting their employees second. Your employees are a truly valuable resource, and understanding their goals and needs is crucial to your firm's success. This doesn't mean you're ignoring your clients' needs; rather, it's about finding the right balance between all three legs of the stool: owners, employees, and clients, and aligning your values with your employees.

Stephanie Everett leads the Lawyerist community and Lawyerist Lab. She is the co-author of Lawyerist's popular book The Small Firm Roadmap and is a regular keynote speaker at legal conferences and CLEs. Stephanie practiced at a big law firm for five years before co-founding her own firm. As the managing partner, Stephanie watched her firm grow from two lawyers to a team of twenty in just seven years. Stephanie's philosophy: “I guide lawyers to create healthier businesses. I love helping them unlock the potential their firm has and to make life easier. We work too hard and stress too much. I love when someone tells me that their business is better because of our help.” Stephanie's favorite thing about working in this space is getting to build a forward-thinking community of lawyers. “Our lawyers don't have it all figured out- but they are willing to experiment, try, and report back. They inspire and push me.” Website: https://lawyerist.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieaeverett/
