In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I chat with Margeaux Thomas, founder and CEO of Thomas Law.
Margeaux is an Virginia-based attorney and speaker with 15+ years of experience representing individuals and small businesses in commercial and real estate litigation, including class action cases and numerous trials on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants.

She specializes in commercial landlord/tenant disputes, business partnership disputes, and contract disputes, and has traveled throughout the country as a faculty lecturer educating over 4,000 attorneys on business litigation issues.

Margeaux is also a contributor to the American Bar Association's Commercial Lending Treatise and has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2013-2023 and a Top Lawyer by Northern Virginia Magazine in 2022.

In addition to managing her own law firm, Margeaux has held numerous bar associations positions and served on various non-profits boards. Margeaux is currently on the Board of Directors of the Old Dominion Bar Association, she is the current Vice-Chair of the Fairfax Bar Association Continuing Legal Education Committee, and in 2022 she was selected to serve on the Alexandria Bar Association Judicial Screening Committee and accepted as a member of the George Mason Inn of Court.

Listen in as Margeaux and I discuss:

• Margeaux’s journey to becoming a lawyer and starting her own wealth-generating law firm.
• The catalyst for leaving Big Law and starting her own firm.
• How she pivoted when her would-be partner backed out.
• The belief that kept her going in the face of her fears.
• The marketing strategy that helps her grow her firm quickly and steadily.
• Things to consider when going into a partnership that will help you if you ever break up.
• Good (and not so good) reasons to consider partnership.

• The mistakes she made after letting her first employee go and hiring new employees.
• Here three-bucket hiring method.
