Building Leaders and a Lasting Culture: Prioritizing Growth and Work-Life Balance with Mike Kopsick

Sal sits down with Michael Kopsick, ManagingPartner at Kahan Kerensky & Capossela LLP, for a candid conversation about what it takes to create a law firm where people not only want to work but choose to stay for the long haul. Drawing from his early experience at a high-pressure NYC firm, Mike shares how that chapter shaped his perspective on the importance of work-life balance, strong leadership, and a culture rooted in transparency and mentorship. He and Sal discuss how KKC’s open-door approach fosters collaboration, why retaining and growing talent has become a cornerstone of the firm’s success, and how technology, remote work, and cybersecurity are reshaping the legal field. They also dive into why real, long-term client relationships are more valuable than quick wins and how building a firm with purpose can make all the difference for both employees and clients alike.
