Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to create better work environments for your staff? In this episode of "The Guild Live Show," Tyson explores why every team does not always thrive in a so-called “innovative” culture, emphasizing the importance of tailoring workplace environments to unique needs. Tyson speaks to the importance of culture fit for companies who want to create healthy work environments. Sometimes the culture of a firm involves a certain type of individual who will make the firm better. Relying on creating a team of misfits can create environments where people might not be able to keep up and it can be damaging. If the environment of your firm is fast paced, it is important to hire people that fit that mold. Leaders play a role in creating and determining what the culture is and it is important that leaders know what they want for their firm.Good work environments support employee's development and mental health. Tyson shares some team activities leaders can coordinate to boost cognitive health. This can be things employees do solo or the team does together. Ideas include the team tracking their sleep to find out how much is needed to be productive, creating 90 minute work blocks where everyone does focused tasks and committing to minimizing some low value channels of information, like social media.Take a listen.1:20 The importance of culture fit over emulating large companies4:00 Leaders' role in creating cultures that attract and repel talent8:55 5 ways to make yourself less intelligent15:14 Suggestions for team activities to boost cognitive healthTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for help on how to grow and market your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer, Tyson interviews Travis Hoechlin and Vaidas Cikotas about how law firms can grow beyond referrals by embracing modern marketing strategies. They highlight the risks of relying solely on referrals, the need for a strong online presence, and the importance of effective intake processes. Solely relying on referrals can limit the growth of a law firm. It is important to diversify clientele and how you get revenue. For some, relying on referrals means a firm doesn't need to take time to update their website or care about how they are perceived to people trying to figure out more. This can really become problematic because referrals are not always guaranteed and you are missing out on a large portion of people who you could engage with.Though marketing is an important aspect of a firm, poor processes can make efforts useless. You can market your firm to the point where you are getting a lot of calls and interest. But, if your intake process is not good or your staff are not on top of the phone line, you are losing interest from people who are going off of first impressions.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews John Kormanik, a former trial attorney turned coach, about his journey overcoming limiting beliefs and the power of mindset. Tyson and John talk about the importance of mindset shifts when it comes to growth and success. For John, this involved thinking about how lucky he was to do certain things and to have a choice in the life he is living.

Having a negative mindset can affect how your life moves forward. If you want to grow and succeed, you have to have the mindset necessary to reach that.John shares his insights on self-criticism and the effect it can have on people. Being self-critical and hard on yourself can really affect your mental health. The key is to show up and do the work for yourself. Attorneys in particular are risk averse and learn not to take the leap and keep things safe. Because of this, many are self-critical and don't think they are good enough. To get over this, it is important to think about what will happen if you fail and if you don't. Think about what the worst case scenario is and if it really will impact you in the long run.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Gary Allen, a lawyer-turned-legal tech founder who shares lessons learned from witnessing two law firm collapse. Gary talks about inefficiencies and cultural barriers in traditional firms, then explains how these experiences inspired the creation of Lean Law.Gary shares his thoughts on the issues that can lead to the collapse of a law firm. One big issue is too much overhead in comparison to what a firm is making. In Gary's experience, his former employer paid too much overhead (i.e. rent, utilities), but the firm did not bring in as many clients which led to a lack of money being generated. There needs to be a formula that is followed to ensure clients are being brought in so a business can sustain itself. Another issue is time overhead, in which lawyers are working but the hours are not billable. This can cause lawyers to put in so much time and energy into work that they cannot be paid for.Gary delves into the creation of Lean Law, which is a company focused on streamlining law firm financial management through technology. Lean Law is the financial operating system for many law firms and helps firms process legal fees. It integrates Quickbooks, so firms can personalize their financial management to ensure fees flow in and out of the firm. It is a great tool for law firms to have so all finances are streamlined and money is in order.Take a listen!01:11 Lessons from Large Firm Failure03:27 Transition to a Healthier Firm10:57 Overhead Awareness and Cost Control 12:09 Transition to Legal Tech: The Spark for Lean Law 14:44 Vision for All-in-One Legal Software 30:58 AI Disrupting Legal Marketing and PPC Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this episode of The Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux shares key takeaways from a New York City mastermind event with attorneys from diverse firms and practice areas. Tyson discusses the “identity crisis” firm owners face when delegating, strategies for handling toxic staff, and innovative ways to package premium legal services.Many law firm owners struggle with identity crises when navigating the legal space, while also being a business owner. This can stem from a range of things. One of the issues is delegation. If a firm owner delegates to many tasks away from themselves, decisions can be made with no input whatsoever, which can make an individual feel like their role at the firm is unimportant. If these feelings persist, it is time to dial things in and take a little more control back. You can also use it as an opportunity to put your focus into other things.Delivering packaged services is a great way to streamline services and provide clients with a great deal. There are a few different ways to do this, such as packaging services that have a flat rate or packaging contingency services. It is important to understand what you provide and what aspects of your firm can be packaged together. Maybe it is best to package together services that are popular for your firm or packaging services for first time clients.Take a listen to learn more!03:24 Law Firm Owner Identity Crisis 06:18 Dealing with Toxic Staff 10:14 Packaging Premium Legal Services 12:13 Team Dynamics with Multiple Firm Members 13:14 Imposter Syndrome and Growth Fears14:20 Transitioning Out and Selling a Law Firm17:03 Managing Family Dynamics in Small Firms 21:13 Hesitancy to Hire and Overcoming BarriersTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Jeff Holman, an attorney and entrepreneur. Jeff shares his journey from engineering to law and business, detailing his transition from private practice to in-house counsel and ultimately creating a fractional legal team model. Jeff shares how to set expectations for clients about the legal team model. Some clients are used to working with an attorney who will be with them from intake to the conclusion of all affairs. A legal team model involves collaboration with different individuals within a firm, which can involve other lawyers working on a case. Jeff emphasizes the need to provide clear communication with clients who might not be used to this model so they know what kind of support they are receiving.With AI growing within many firms, Jeff and Tyson provide insights on how AI affects client interactions. Research shows that AI integration might lead to firms hiring less attorneys since there are tools that can do a lot of the work for you. For Jeff, the use of AI is a great tool, but won't be useful for certain aspects. For example, if the right questions aren't being asked, AI can help with this. It can also help replace a first year associate that might be too green to work in a specific legal environment.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on how to make your firm more lucrative? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Ted DeBettencourt, a JD/MBA and a business owner. Ted shares his journey from Martha's Vineyard to legal tech entrepreneurship, discussing the island's unique culture and his transition from law to business. To run a successful law firm, it is important that certain processes are in place and run efficiently to turn a profit. An important thing to implement is to ensure there are more staff over auto responders and AI for Local Service Ads (LSA). LSA's will rank firms based on response times and this can affect how people perceive your firm at the first click. If your response time is slow, most people will not call you for help. Using real people to answer leads and call prospective clients will ensure you get off on the right foot with people who are looking for legal support.Ted and Tyson chat about the three most important marketing metrics for a successful law firm. The first metric is wanted leads. It is important to know how many leads are actually wanted, in which a firm will be interested in taking on. The second metric is signed rates. Out of the wanted leads, how many of them were signed on as actual cases for the firm. This will determine how successful a firm is when it comes to the number of cases that are taken on and it can show value. The third metric is average case value. This can be determined by how much a firm makes in a year based on the type of cases. Ultimately, the average case value will let someone know how successful a firm really is.Listen in to learn more!05:25 Google Local Services Ads (LSA) and Lead Response06:49 Manual vs. Automated Lead Response07:46 Importance of Fast Lead Response09:20 AI vs. Human Chat: Present and Future10:37 Human Connection in the Age of AI11:26 Regulations and Human-Only Policies23:14 What Sets Successful Law Firms Apart25:54 Key Marketing Metrics for Law FirmsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux leads a dynamic discussion on lost leads in customer service, the top interview question job candidates should ask, and the ethics of employee poaching in tech.Using a training video of an initial client call, Tyson talks about lost leads in customer service and how firms can improve communication and establish processes with clients. It is important to know when to simply sign up a client as opposed to trying to get every piece of information. For this caller, they just needed help and the employee was focused on typing everything down, pressing for photos and using escalating behaviour. In contentious situations where callers are distressed, it is best to let them speak and provide a comforting environment where the person feels heard and the employee shows empathy. Tyson delves into questions that candidates should ask to uncover real company values. One of the questions is focused on having the manager describe the kind of person that should not work for the firm. For a manager, this will catch you off guard. But for a prospective candidate, this will allow you to understand how the company sees themselves and the kind of traits and attributes they hold close and value. It will also give you clarity on if it is the type of firm you are wanting to work for.Listen in to learn more!04:38 Lessons from the Lost Lead 09:04 The #1 Job Candidate Question12:36 Poaching in Tech: Meta vs. OpenAI 16:47 Jaguar's Rebranding Flop21:08 LLaMA AI Update & Live DemoTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Using the Copywriting Playbook, Tyson shares some tips on how to use it effectively for a business. First is to make a specific promise, then add a vehicle or method for that promise, move on to including a timeline and then finish by anchoring it with a number. What this does is show the individual looking at your business what you are going to help them achieve or what they will get out of working with you. It is a quick and catchy tagline that will entice the individual.Tyson also provides some tips on how a business owner can make effective business decisions. One tip is that you only need 51% certainty to make a decision.

Don't take more than 48 hours to make a decision on anything for your business. Another tip is to hire someone based on 3 questions: What specific result will this person own? How do they move the firm forward? Should this role be done in-house or outsourced?

Jonathan shares practical insights on building strong client retainer agreements, protecting against associate turnover, and planning for partnership transitions. Jonathan shares some strategies law firms need to use to protect themselves when associates leave and take clients with them. One thing to embed in your processes is establishing partnership agreements with lawyers you hire. This is a way to outline stipulations as it relates to a lawyer leaving and taking a client. Though a client has the ultimate choice, it can be included in an agreement that a lawyer should not encourage their client to leave with them. As a firm owner, this protects your downside and provides you with some sort of protection when it comes to losing clients.Tyson and Jonathan chat about value drivers for law firms and how owners can enhance their practice when it comes time to sell. A big value driver for a potential buyer are the employees. If a new owner is looking to take over, having solid employees and a good leadership team will attract someone to jump in. It will make the transition much smoother and leave the buyer feeling confident in their decision. Another value driver are marketing systems. If your firm has great systems to market itself, someone will be more inclined to buy because they see the dedication that exists within the firm and how it presents itself.Listen in to learn more!2:17 Advice on foundational systems for new law firms4:09 Strategies to protect law firms when associates leave9:57 Common legal protections firms neglect28:27 Additional value drivers for law firms36:34 The importance of succession and incapacity planning Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
