How Gwen Griggs and Whitney Harper Engineered a Better Law Firm

In this episode, I sit down with Gwen Griggs and Whitney Harper, the powerhouse behind Advos Legal. We dive deep into the "brokenness" of the traditional legal system and how they’ve engineered a new path. We explore the transition from the grueling billable hour to a value-based "point" system adapted from software development's Agile methodology. Gwen & Whitney share their journey from BigLaw and in-house roles to building a firm that prioritizes both client success and the humanity of the legal team. Gwen and Whitney are the co-founders of Advos Legal & Advos Pro.Gwen focuses on strategic growth for tech-enabled companies and Whitney brings a unique P&L perspective to legal practice.Resources Mentioned:Advos Legal: The firm’s home for innovative legal services.Advos Pro: Where Gwen and Whitney help other lawyers break free from the traditional model and the expectation that it has to suck to practice law, and guide lawyers to love their work and lives, and be richly rewarded by their practices.Agile/Scrum Methodology: The software development framework adapted for the P3 method.Hal Resnick: Business consultant mentioned regarding organizational design.We'd love to hear from you through Fan Mail!Host Info: Ariella Cohen ColemanThe Wellness Esquire: a bold new path where wellbeing, happiness, and authenticity drive performance and success. Ariella Law, PC: strategic legal support for entrepreneurs, growing companies, and mission-driven organizations — formation, contracts, compliance, and fractional general counsel, delivered project-based or by subscription. https://ariellaw.com/Follow Ariella:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariellacoleman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariellacohencoleman/Website: https://ariellacohencoleman.com/Connect & Explore:Website: https://thewellnessesquire.comSubstack: https://thewellnessesquire.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessesquire/Support & SponsorsSuperhuman: email, faster.
