Show Notes
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tom Freeman discuss:
- The evolution of the legal industry between the great recession and the great resignation.
- Building beyond the billable hour.
- The future of law firm cultures.
- The value and portability of having your own book of business.
Key Takeaways:
- Lawyers and associates now have more choices than they ever have and they are being more particular about what they are willing to accept.
- DEI is late coming to law firms and law firm culture, but we are starting to see a shift. The thriving firms are the ones that are embracing DEI.
- The practice of law is changing for the better as more diversity joins in the industry. Minorities and women are going to law school more than ever and bringing a different perspective.
- Law schools don’t teach you to think like a lawyer, they teach you to think like a law professor.
"The billable hour model is broken. It doesn't incentivize those types of mentoring relationships, or those types of collegial training experiences." — Tom Freeman
