Legal Late Night

Jared Correia dives into March Madness, breaking down his top five most impactful NCAA Final Four tournaments of all time. From Texas Western breaking Jim Crow-style recruiting in 1966 to the legendary Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird showdown in 1979, Jared explores the history of college basketball's biggest stage.Next, Jared sits down with Daniel Steinberg, the Founder and CEO of Lawbrokr. Daniel shares his journey from building partnerships at Clio to launching his own legal tech startup. He opens up about the difficult reality of startup pivots, explaining why Lawbrokr shifted away from a consumer-attorney marketplace model to become a dedicated B2B digital intake and marketing solution.In this interview, we cover:The Lawbrokr Pivot: Why the unit economics of building a legal marketplace broke down, and how listening to customer data saved the company.The "Leaky Funnel": Why law firms need to stop obsessing over raw website traffic and start focusing on actual web traffic conversion.The Human Element: Why the vulnerability of legal consumers means intake processes can never be 100% automated by AI.Agency Partnerships: How Lawbrokr partners with marketing agencies to optimize conversions and prove ROI for law firms.Finally, in the Counter Program, Jared puts Daniel's accounting background to the test in a ridiculous new trivia game called "Boats and Hoes," inspired by the movie Step Brothers.Learn more about Daniel and Lawbrokr.Check out our YouTube ChannelFind more great content at Legal Broadcasting CompanyAnd connect with Jared on LinkedIn.We're grateful to be supported by CallRail, Attorney at Work Today, and Lawyer 2 Lawyer.Learn more about CallRail.Subscribe to Attorney at Work Today.Subscribe to Lawyer 2 Lawyer.(00:00) - Intro & Monologue: The Best NCAA Final Fours (05:27) - #5: The 1991 Rocky Four Final Four (Duke vs. UNLV) (07:43) - #4: The 1982 Final Four (Jordan vs. Ewing) (11:12) - #3: The 1957 Final Four (UNC's Triple Overtime Wins) (12:09) - #2: The 1966 Final Four (Texas Western Breaks Jim Crow Recruiting) (15:33) - #1: The 1979 Final Four (Magic vs. Bird) (20:58) - Interview Start: Meet Daniel Steinberg of Lawbrokr (21:57) - Using ChatGPT as a New Parent (24:26) - Daniel's Background: From Tech Sales to Clio Partnerships (30:57) - The Impetus for Launching Lawbrokr (32:32) - The Hard Pivot: Why the Marketplace Model Broke Down (37:37) - Lawbrokr Today: Digital Intake and Web Traffic Conversion (38:22) - The Biggest Law Firm Mistake: Ignoring Web Conversions (42:21) - Why Legal Intake Will Always Need a Human Touch (45:45) - Partnering with Marketing Agencies (47:16) - The Value of the Legal Conference Circuit (48:46) - What's Next: Lawbrokr Anywhere & Data Transparency (51:58) - Counter Program: Boats and Hoes Trivia (01:02:11) - Outro & This Week's Playlist Click here to view the episode transcript.

Jared Correia breaks down a massive shift in the legal industry: the rise of Management Services Organizations (MSOs). As private equity finds new ways to invest in the legal space without violating ethics rules, Jared explains how MSOs are restructuring law firms and why every owner needs to pay attention.Next, Jared is joined by the coolest guest in LLN history, Owen Hemsath (aka Owen Video), CEO of Acceleratus Media. Owen shares his journey from a 10-year stint as a waiter to becoming a YouTube and video marketing powerhouse.In this interview, we cover:Why YouTube is King: Why lawyers should focus on the YouTube/Instagram "one-two punch" rather than chasing TikTok trends.The "One Good Thing" Rule: Stop overcomplicating your marketing. Learn why focusing on consistent video content is the best way to build your brand.Scripting for Authenticity: How a proper video structure (beginning, middle, and call-to-action) actually allows your true personality to shine.Stop Gatekeeping: Why the best strategy is walking clients through the legal processes they fear, rather than creating boring commercials.Finally, in the Counter Program, Jared tests Owen’s knowledge of his adopted home state in a hilarious game of "S* Utahns Say,"** covering everything from "Fry Sauce" and "Jello Salads" to "NCMOs" (Non-Committal Make-Outs).Learn more about Owen "Video" Hemsath and Acceleratus MediaSubscribe to our YouTube Channel.We're actively growing our new podcast network, so check in to find amazing new content.And check out this week's Spotify Playlist.We're grateful to be supported by CallRail, Attorney at Work Today, and Lawyer 2 Lawyer.Learn more about CallRail.Subscribe to Attorney at Work Today.Subscribe to Lawyer 2 Lawyer.(00:00) - Intro & Monologue: The Modern Day Guild Structure (01:53) - Subverting the Ethics Rules: The Rise of ABS and MSOs (03:03) - How Private Equity is Funding Law Firm MSOs (04:05) - The Pros: Practicing at the Top of Your License (05:01) - The Cons: Hollowing Out the Value of Law Firms (06:51) - Interview Start: Meet Owen Hemsath (aka Owen Video) (08:35) - The Steve Jobs Wardrobe & On-Camera Branding (10:27) - The Origin of "Owen Video" & Avoiding the Paparazzi (12:09) - The Origin Story: From Waiter to Multimedia Expert (15:51) - Why Video is the Ultimate Social Media Dominator (17:43) - Don't DIY: Why You Need a Content Strategy (19:35) - Scripting for Authenticity: Start, Middle, Stop (22:19) - The YouTube/Instagram One-Two Punch (24:23) - Long-Form vs. Short-Form: What Works Best?

Jared Correia challenges law firms to move beyond boilerplate policies and embrace a tech-centric approach to process management. Later, he sits down with Matt Rubin, the "Mr. Marketing" himself, to discuss the volatile history of SEO and why Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is set to absorb 30% of the search market by the end of the year.In this episode, we cover:The Procedural Challenge: Why your law firm's manual shouldn't just be a "dusty shiv" for HR emergencies, but a living guide yoked to your technology stack.Matt Rubin's Rollercoaster Career: From making millions in mortgage marketing to working as a $13/hour leasing consultant during the 2008 crash, and eventually founding his own agency with two (soon to be three) patents.The Future of Search: How AEO and AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT are changing discovery for lawyers.Personalized Advertising: Why dynamic ads tied to your CRM data are the ultimate competitive advantage for small firms.Finally, stay tuned for the "Shitty Olympics" in our Counter Program, where Jared tests Matt's knowledge of bizarre historical Winter Olympic sports like Ski Ballet and Skijuring.Learn more about THE Mr. Marketing, Matt Rubin.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel.We're actively growing our new podcast network, so check in to find amazing new content.And check out this week's Spotify Playlist.We're grateful to be supported by CallRail, Attorney at Work Today, and Lawyer 2 Lawyer.Learn more about CallRail.Subscribe to Attorney at Work Today.Subscribe to Lawyer 2 Lawyer.(00:00) - Intro: Policies and Procedures Manuals (01:25) - The "Dusty Shiv": Moving Beyond Boilerplate Policies (02:27) - Rebuilding Procedures Around Your Technology Stack (03:24) - Documenting Automation, Email, and Even the Candy Dish (04:24) - Process Management: The Key to Productive Onboarding (06:14) - Interview Start: Meet Matt Rubin of Mr. Marketing (08:07) - The Origin of the "Mr. Marketing" Nickname (10:01) - Career Volatility: Millions in Mortgages to $13/Hour (13:23) - Navigating Google’s Animal Updates (Panda & Penguin) (16:40) - Dynamic Content Optimization: Matt’s Patents (18:02) - AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) vs. Traditional SEO (18:42) - Why AI Search Will Absorb 30% Market Share This Year (19:47) - Why Advertising Still Trumps Passive Search (21:54) - The Role of Google Reviews in the Buying Decision (23:40) - Why You Can’t Automate Human Emotion in Reviews (28:35) - Personalized Advertising: The Future of Real-Time Ads (34:19) - Marketing War Stories: The Russian Mob and 3 AM Calls (38:32) - Counter Program: The Shitty Olympics (Winter Edition) (40:26) - Real or Fake?

Jared Correia takes us on a psychedelic tour of Memphis before diving into the complex world of tax optimization for business owners. First, in the monologue, Jared recaps his "mind-f***" trip to Graceland. From the Jungle Room’s porcelain monkeys and a bright yellow-and-black TV room to Elvis’s Gatorade-stocked private jets, Jared explains why the King’s estate is essentially "Redneck Disney World"—a 14-acre compound built to the god of capitalism. Then, Jared sits down with Megan Robin, owner of Megan Robin Law. Megan holds an LLM in Tax Law and explains how she fills the "multidisciplinary gap" for law firm owners. In this interview, we discuss:The Conventional Retirement Trap: Why aggressive 401k saving might not make sense for high-earning "knowledge workers" who peak later in life. The CFO Gap: Why your $500-per-return accountant likely isn't providing proactive tax strategy. Real Estate vs. Wall Street: The hidden conflict of interest in Assets Under Management (AUM) fees and why your advisor might be steering you away from property investments. Niching for Lawyers: Why Megan focuses on the unique entrepreneurial mindset of law firm owners. Finally, stick around for a new segment: "Taxing Myths and Legends." Jared tests Megan on the weirdest taxes in human history. Find out which are real—from the Ancient Roman urine tax to the 19th-century Ohio squirrel scalp tax.

Jared explores a metric every law firm should track: NPS. Plus, we take a deep dive into the changing landscape of legal talent.First, in the monologue, Jared breaks down the concept of NPS (Net Promoter Score). He explains how to categorize your clients into promoters, passives, and detractors to accurately gauge brand loyalty. He also delivers a harsh reality check: the average law firm has an NPS of 25, meaning clients view lawyers with the same enthusiasm as airlines and wireless carriers.Next, Jared sits down with Jay Harrington, a Partner at Latitude Legal. Jay shares his incredible career journey, from starting as a corporate bankruptcy lawyer at Skadden right after 9/11 , to opening a small firm during the 2009 GM and Chrysler bankruptcies , and running a legal marketing and consulting agency for over a decade.In this interview, we discuss:Flexible Legal Talent: Why law firms and corporate legal teams are turning to contract and project-based lawyers to build "elastic capacity" without fixed headcount risks.The Modern Attorney: How top-tier lawyers are using the "gig economy" to transition between career phases, work remotely, or gain better work-life balance.Onboarding Success: The key steps law firms must take to effectively onboard contract attorneys, from setting guaranteed hours to having meaningful work ready on day one.Finally, stick around for the Counter Program segment: "Jay and the Harring-Tones". Jared tests Jay's music knowledge by asking him to complete the next line of famous songs from artists like Dr. Dre, The Proclaimers, Cyndi Lauper, and Vanilla Ice.Learn more about Jay Harrington and Latitude Legal.Subscribe to our YouTube channel.And check out this episode's Spotify playlist.We're grateful to be supported by CallRail, Attorney at Work Today, and Lawyer 2 Lawyer.Learn more about CallRail.Subscribe to Attorney at Work Today.Subscribe to Lawyer 2 Lawyer.(00:00) - Intro & Monologue: Understanding NPS (Net Promoter Score) (01:36) - The NPS Scale: Promoters, Passives, and Detractors (03:43) - The Truth About the Average Law Firm NPS (07:01) - Interview Start: Jay Harrington (Latitude Legal) (10:07) - Starting at Big Law (Skadden) During 9/11 (12:59) - Opening a Small Firm During the 2009 Financial Crisis (16:18) - Running a Legal Consulting & Marketing Agency (18:09) - Joining Latitude Legal & The Rise of Flexible Legal Talent (24:19) - Why Top-Tier Lawyers Are Turning to Contract Work (29:49) - How Law Firms Should Onboard "Gig" Attorneys (37:17) - Counter Program: "Jay and the Herring Tones" Lyric Game (39:38) - Dr. Dre Trivia (41:41) - The Proclaimers Trivia (45:15) - Cyndi Lauper Trivia (47:48) - Vanilla Ice Trivia (50:28) - Conclusion & Outro Click here to view the episode transcript.

Jared Correia takes us on a musical journey before subjecting a legal tech CEO to the unforgiving "Wheel of Justice."First, in the monologue, Jared adds another entry to the "Perfect Album" series: Paul McCartney's Ram (1971). Jared explains why the post-Beatles breakup era was McCartney's absolute prime, why Ram is essentially McCartney's "Taylor Swift album" (full of diss tracks aimed at John Lennon), and why you need to listen to the bizarre genius of "Percy Thrillington."Then, we flip the script. Instead of a traditional interview, Jared brings on Matt Spiegel, CEO and founder of Lawmatics, for a full-length round of the Wheel of Justice. Jared spins the wheel, and Matt answers whatever random questions come up.In this chaotic and insightful interview, we discuss:Legal Tech Adopters: Why "arrogance-driven fear" is the biggest hurdle keeping lawyers from adopting new technology.The AI Bubble: Matt's take on why many current AI products are just "glorified ChatGPT wrappers," and why the real future of legal tech is in "agentic platforms."Law Firm Marketing: The single biggest mistake lawyers make when spending money, and the two KPIs you must track (Cost Per Lead & Cost Per Customer).Random Chaos: Matt's apocalypse survival plan (it involves stealing a $200 million LA mansion), the sentimental value of the original Game Boy, and the "Death Row Last Meal" question featuring a very specific fast-food French fry.Tune in for 10 rounds of the Wheel of Justice with one of legal tech's brightest minds!Learn more about Matt Spiegel and Lawmatics here.Subscribe to our YouTube channel.And check out this episode's Spotify playlist.We're grateful to be supported by CallRail, Attorney at Work Today, and Lawyer 2 Lawyer.Learn more about CallRail.Subscribe to Attorney at Work Today.Subscribe to Lawyer 2 Lawyer.(00:00) - Intro & Monologue: The Perfect Album Segment Returns (02:10) - Why Paul McCartney is the Best Solo Beatle (06:54) - McCartney's Prime: 1967 to 1971 (Sgt.

He explains why these technologies are critical for automating workflows and keeping your firm competitive.Then, we are joined by Joyce Brafford, owner of the Joyce Brafford Law Firm. Joyce shares her journey from HR and legal tech sales to launching her own estate planning practice. She reveals how she used ChatGPT to build her entire business plan, from revenue projections to SOPs.In this interview, we discuss:The Sales Advantage: How a background in cold calling and trade shows gave Joyce a leg up in acquiring clients.The Tech Stack: Why Joyce chose WealthCounsel and CosmoLex to run a high-capacity solo practice.AI as "Manifestation Software": Why Joyce doesn't see AI as a competitor, but as a cheerleader that validates ideas (even the dumb ones).Pricing Strategy: Setting rates based on personal financial needs rather than market comparison.Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: "Cryptid Corner."

He discusses the "Getting Things Done" (GTD) method, the difference between subfolders and relational databases, and why sharing inbox passwords is a security nightmare. He also recommends tools like Superhuman, Fixer, and Zendesk to help attorneys reach the elusive Inbox Zero.Then, we are joined by An Ruda, CEO and Co-Managing Partner of Bartko Pavia LLP. A shares her unconventional path to the law, which began after a failed interview at a radio station where she didn't know how to use Microsoft.

Jared Correia welcomes a true legal tech legend for a record-breaking three-segment appearance.First, Jared and Larry Port (founder of Rocket Matter) crack open a new entry in the "Perfect Album" series: Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever (1989). They debate the merits of the album's solo status, the genius of Jeff Lynne's production, and whether "Free Fallin'" is actually a good song or just California propaganda.Then, in the main interview, Larry discusses life after his successful exit from Rocket Matter. He reveals his new venture, WaySpark, a career coaching platform designed to help young people navigate a volatile labor market shaped by AI, the "silver wave" of retirements, and the decline of white-collar hiring. Larry explains why interpersonal skills are the new currency and why he advocates for the "Family Dinner Test" when choosing a career path.Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: "Hard Work."

Welcome to Legal Late Night! In this episode, host Jared Correia takes us back to the turn of the century for a wild travelogue before diving into the future of law firm profitability with Nancy Jeng.First, Jared opens the vault for "Travels with Jared: Chapter 514." He recounts a debaucherous trip to Montreal in July 2001 to see the Red Sox play the Expos. The story features a missing toothbrush, a "McPoule" incident at 3:00 AM, and the legendary at-bat of Rich "El Guapo" Garces at Olympic Stadium. Then, we are joined by Nancy Jeng, co-founder of Billables AI. Nancy shares her journey from the advertising industry—where she suffered through the same timekeeping pains as lawyers—to launching a legal tech startup. She explains how Billables AI uses advanced machine learning to not just track time, but to automatically generate narrative entries, assign billing codes, and capture work across multiple devices. In this interview, we discuss:The "Spotify Wrapped" of Work: How wide adoption of timekeeping AI gives firms data on exactly how they spend their time (meetings vs. email vs. deep work). Recovering Lost Revenue: How automated tools help lawyers capture 10-30% more billable time that usually slips through the cracks. Training the AI: Understanding how the system learns from "explicit" signals (billing guidelines) and "implicit" signals (your editing habits). Finally, stick around for the Counter Program: "Woman vs. Food." Jared tests Nancy (a cookbook author!) on her knowledge of bizarre world cuisine. Is "Glacier Charred Moss" a real dish from Iceland? What about "Tarantula Tempura"? Tune in to find out.

Welcome to Legal Late Night! In this episode, host Jared Correia provides a strategic roadmap for small law firm growth and explores the bold journey of launching a new personal injury brand.First, Jared shares his "Growth Roadmap" for small law firms. He breaks down the five key pillars of scaling a practice: choosing the right technology, implementing process management, developing a hiring protocol, analyzing granular profitability, and diversifying your marketing beyond referrals.Then, we are joined by Rob Hartigan, founder of LionHart Injury Law. Rob shares his "origin story" of moving from Boston to Atlanta to support his wife's dream job and launching his own firm in a new market. He discusses the risks of leaving a partnership, the strategy behind creating a unique brand name instead of "Hartigan & Associates," and how he secured a $6 million settlement within his first 18 months.
