One lost a trusted attorney and was thrown back into daily operations. Another lost 18 team members. One deliberately slowed growth to rebuild the firm’s systems and technology. Another came within one day of giving up his practice and taking a job.They did not recover by working longer hours. They recovered by changing how the business operated.In this episode, you will discover:How to rebuild a law firm after a key attorney or employee leavesHow small law firm owners can reduce key-person dependencyWhy law firm growth often stalls between $1 million and $3 millionHow to improve law firm intake after repeated employee turnoverWhy hiring experienced leaders can solve recurring staffing problemsHow to build a law firm that does not depend on the ownerWhy non-attorney salespeople can improve consultation close ratesWhat successful attorneys do differently when their firm stops growingThese attorneys were not successful because they avoided adversity.
