Maximum Lawyer

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to hire new talent? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer Live, host Tyson Mutrux explores the challenges law firms face when hiring and onboarding associate attorneys. Tyson discusses the need for documented standards, regular feedback, and patience, highlighting that onboarding is a long-term investment in future capacity—not instant output.Hiring for law firms can be challenging, but it is important to understand onboarding and to have realistic expectations. This includes the concept of output versus capacity. When you hire new attorneys, you are not seeing instant capacity or input. You are buying future capacity. A new associate needs time to understand your core values and both learn and unlearn certain skills and tools. As a law firm owner, it is important to give someone the space to grow into a successful attorney.Defining success is very important when hiring new attorneys, especially if you want to retain your talent. It is your responsibility to define what success looks like. Think about what it looks like at the 30, 60 and 180 day mark. If this is expressed to your new attorneys, you can work with them to ensure they meet that mark. It is also important to not move the goalpost at all. This can really lead to new hires losing confidence in their ability to do well, causing them to leave to find other opportunities. Take a listen!1:19 Expectations of Onboarding7:08 The First 30 Days in a New Role.14:14 The “Why” Behind Firm Processes18:55 Hiring Experienced Attorneys22:04 The Importance of Defining Success Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who needs advice on leading a team in a crisis? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, attorney and law firm owner Tiffany Webber shares the profound personal and professional impact of her law partner’s sudden passing. She recounts the immediate aftermath, the challenges of leading her firm through crisis, and the lessons learned about resilience, leadership, and preparation. Tiffany shares her insights on leading a firm amidst losing a loved one. One thing is having the skill to be calm under pressure. You can’t control when someone close to you passes, but you can control yourself and your reaction to something. As a lawyer, people come to you with answers, so it is important to know when to remain calm and collected. Another thing to have is a bias for action. Many people will sit back and analyze. They will wait to make a decision when they have received all the answers. But, in this field, you will never always have every piece of information. Sometimes, you need to make decisions in the moment with what you have.Having a good leadership team is crucial, especially when you as the owner have a lot of things on their plate. Other leaders in the firm can not only support you by taking on the additional load, but you can lean on them for support. Also, if you don't know something about a topic, having others as subject matter experts can be such an advantage. This also helps with succession planning, so someone can take over while you focus on other things.Listen in to learn more!2:06 Survival Guide for a Crisis4:12 Bias for Action12:03 Facing Discomfort18:00 Creating a Good Leadership Team20:46 Letting the Right People InConnect with Tiffany:Website Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Determining a power trap within someone can include people with insecurities, those who are afraid of losing power and those with narcissistic tendencies.When new leaders emerge, there are some psychological shifts that happen when a lawyer goes from working solo to working with a team to owning a law firm.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to surprise and spoil your clients? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Heather Olson on the strategic use of swag—promotional items—in marketing for legal and professional services. The discussion covers how to select high-quality, practical, and sustainable swag that resonates with your target audience, enhances brand recognition, and boosts community visibility. Promotional items and swag are a great way to market to your consumers or clients and build trust with them. When creating swag, it is important to understand and identify your target audience. If you are a law firm, your target audience will most likely be individuals who are older or maybe have a lot of money. You can research promotional items that connect with individuals of a certain demographic. Maybe these clients like golf or items that they can use in their kitchens. It is crucial to understand who you are serving.These items are also great in a personalized way. If you have clients that you are close with or have worked with for a long period of time, personalizing a gift can really strengthen the  lawyer-client relationship. Put in the extra effort, especially if it is the holidays or celebrating the end of a case. Think about high end items like Turkish towels or leather wine bags. You can also personalize bulk items for your employees, like glassware or notebooks.Take a listen!1:32  Identifying Your Target Audience4:19 Working with Promotional Item Distributors8:25 Avoiding Low-Quality Swag12:07 Effective Swag Examples for Community14:58 Personalized Swag and Employee Gifts Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Heather:Website InstagramFacebook Linkedin

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to learn more about how to be a good leader? In this solo episode of the Guild Live Show, Tyson reflects on work-life balance, leadership, and the guilt many law firm owners feel about stepping away from the office. Sharing his own experiences, Tyson explores the psychological challenges of letting go, the importance of trusting your team, and why true leadership is measured by outcomes and freedom.Tyson shares some insights on feelings of guilt law firm owners have when being away from the office. A lot of firm owners tend to tie their value to their presence, which is where this guilt can stem from. There can be thoughts of things going wrong in the office or fires not being put out. To move away from this mindset, it is important to ensure you can trust your team to handle things while you are away. Whether it's delegating work to specific people or asking for updates on a recurring basis, these things can help you feel more at ease and allow that guilt to disappear.Tyson talks about visible versus meaningful effort.

This shows you are serious about making sure your firm grows and succeeds.Take a listen to learn more!4:00 The Guilt of Being Away6:52 The Danger of Identity Tied to Work11:07 Visible vs. Meaningful Effort14:42 Trusting Your Team and Letting Go18:33 Leadership Is About Outcomes19:25 Freedom as a Metric for Success Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to change how you run your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Mathew Kerbis, a lawyer and founder of Subscription Attorney discusses how AI is transforming legal work and why the traditional billable hour model is becoming obsolete. Mathew talks about the framework for using AI effectively within the legal space. It is important to remember that AI tools, like ChatGPT, are not calculators. They have biases and are reinforced by the humans who designed them. They are also not perfect and should be used as an aid. For the legal space, AI should be used to give you all the information before giving you an answer.Mathew delves into the topic of the billable hour model and why firms should move to subscription based models. The billable hour includes doing a bunch of tasks for a client within a set time frame for a price. If a client only pays you for one hour, you are only working for that hour. But switching to a subscription based model with AI in mind means you can scale your business better. You can develop better relationships with clients because there is predictable revenue.Listen in to learn more!4:38 The Latent Legal Market Opportunity9:11 Framework for Using AI Effectively13:25 Retrieval Augmented Generation & Tool Selection16:07 AI in Legal Practice19:10 The End of the Billable Hour & Subscription Benefits\Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Mathew:Website  Linkedin Youtube

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for some insights on how to create a healthy firm culture?

They discuss practical strategies for defining and sustaining company culture, managing ego, and fostering emotional intelligence. As a law firm owner who can control the culture of that firm, it is important for the culture to mimic that of the owners. It is important to take shared experiences of the owners and use those to design the foundations of the culture from that. You don’t want to create a culture that simply mimics that of another because you feel that is what your workers want. Using it as inspiration, you understand your own values and that of your staff and create something dynamic.Travis shares some practices that enable growth for a firm. One practice is to be honest with each other about what the core principles are for the firm and follow them. For Travis, his firm still does formal reviews, which began at the start of the firm, to talk about things staff are displeased with and things they can do better.

Having these calls also ensures clients are prioritized and attorneys are doing their jobs. Creating a system for this can include having a client happiness coordinator and some sort of CRM to manage these calls and input and retain information.Devon speaks to unhappy clients and how to unearth this and understand this as a lawyer. Most of her clients are satisfied, but it can be tough to admit when you as a lawyer can’t deliver something 100% because of whatever issue that presents itself. Understanding this can create confidence in a lawyer in having better communication with clients on realistic expectations.

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Richard interviews Hamid Kohan, founder of Law Practice AI, about the rapid impact of AI and technology on law firm operations. Hamid introduces his three-part power model and discusses how these elements are transforming legal staffing, operations, and profitability. Hamid shares his three-part power model and how it can change hiring for firms. The model includes ⅓ local staff, ⅓ virtual staff and ⅓ AI. Including some of each can really transform a law firm and allow operations and staffing to benefit from aspects that might seem very different. Virtual staff can cut down your costs and AI can allow you to figure out ways to take some work away from busy local staff and simplify it.There are areas of a firm that would thrive using AI. AI can supplement what is going on and shift people into more customer facing roles where they are helping clients. Roles like legal assistance, document collections and document summaries can benefit from the use of AI. These do not really require much human interaction, so these areas can be streamlined and made to work in a way to benefit a firm.Listen to learn more!2:12 Defining the three part power model 4:29 The vision for an AI law firm operating system13:13 Reasons for the law field’s slow tech adoption 40:12 Advice to start new AI-driven law firms 46:58 Areas of a firm that would thrive using AITune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Hamid:Website Instagram  FacebookTikTok Linkedin Youtube Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn
