In this episode, Molly sits down with Aviva Gordon, an estate planning lawyer, Founder/Owner of Gordon Law, LLC, to discuss her journey from dealing with high turnovers to building a rockstar legal team. They dive into hiring challenges, building a supportive culture, and keeping client service personal in a tech-driven world. Aviva shares why trusting professionals and continuous improvement are key to lasting law firm success.

Key Takeaways:

• Hiring Right Changes Everything – Moving from repeated assistant turnovers to finding the right fit transformed Aviva's legal team and client experience.

• Communication is Key – Even skilled attorneys can struggle with clearly articulating expectations to their team.

• Culture Beats Perks – A supportive, respectful team environment keeps great people longer than big salaries or flashy benefits.

• Process is Power – Documenting systems and procedures gets tasks out of the attorney's head and into a repeatable workflow.

• Clients Feel Your Team's Energy – A cohesive, well-supported legal team delivers better client care and stronger relationships.

• Small Firms Have Big Advantages – Personalized service, real human touch, and dedicated client care beat large-firm bureaucracy.

• Partnership with Professionals Pays Off – Bringing in expert help for hiring, onboarding, and leadership support accelerates growth.

• Continuous Improvement is Non-Negotiable – Regularly refining processes and roles keeps the legal team effective and engaged.
