Your Law Firm is a Business

Take it to the Next Level

Imagine a world where a 32-hour workweek was the norm for law firms. Intriguing, isn’t it? Well, that’s one of the things we’re discussing with Corine from Streamlined Legal on our listener questions episode. We dissect the complexities and cultural shifts needed for this dream to become a reality. From tackling inefficiencies such as attorneys doing paralegal work to under-utilized administrative staff, we pull apart the existing work model and put forward a compelling case for a shorter work week.

We also plunge into the realm of digital marketing, exploring how law firms can navigate this landscape and reap the rewards through website updates and other strategies. There will be challenges – dips in traffic, trusting a vendor, and planning for major changes. Yet, trust us, it’s worth it.

Additionally, we tap into the often-overlooked power of podcasting as a tool to elevate your law firm. From broadening your reach to impacting your firm’s culture, podcasts can be a game changer. So, join us as we challenge the status quo, embrace innovative strategies, and push the boundaries of what it means to run a modern law firm. And remember, it all begins from the top.

Show Highlights:

  • The possibility of implementing a 32-hour work week in law firms, with the potential benefits for both attorneys and administrative staff.
  • Common inefficiencies within law firms, such as attorneys doing paralegal work and under-utilizing administrative staff.
  • Exploration of digital marketing strategies for law firms, including the importance of investing in website updates and online outreach.
  • Advice on handling potential dips in traffic when making significant changes to digital marketing strategies.
  • How to lead a team and navigate uncertainties, with emphasis on adopting a learning mindset rather than needing to have all the answers.
  • The impact of podcasting on a law firm’s reach and culture, and how it can help take a firm to the next level.
