Description

How do you go from answering phones to running the business side of a law firm? In this episode of the Mostly Legal Podcast, we sit down with Elyssa Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer of RAM Law and 2025-2026 President-Elect of the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), to find out. Elyssa shares her journey from receptionist to COO, the mentors who shaped her path, and how she advocated for a leadership role in a small firm. We also dive into career development, ALA's impact, the importance of taking responsibility for your career—and yes, Rob tries (and fails) to get Elyssa to sing. If you're a legal administrator, firm manager, or aspiring COO, this episode is packed with practical advice, personal stories, and laughs along the way.
