The Business of Law

Episode Notes I know a lot of people are cautious about getting legal help in their business because they're unsure how the fees are charged, how much it will cost whether they can afford it. They've probably heard a horror story or two about invoices being double the initial estimate. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how lawyers charge for their time as well as the disadvantages. But there is hope! Lawyers like myself and many other are moving to fixed fee pricing which gives greater transparency and confidence to business owners so they know exactly how much their legal services will cost.

Episode Notes Have you ever been asked by a client to "take a quick look?" or make a "quick change"? Sometimes, the actual work won't take you a long time to complete, but it's only your years of experience and knowledge. This can also look like 'scope creep'. Getting asked to do extra little things that you would normally charge your clients for.

Episode Notes I'd always had a dream to start a product based business. It wasn't until 2016, when I was a mum to a 2 year old and 3 month old baby that I made it happen. It was a whirlwind of learning about marketing, design, social media, SEO and more but it taught me so many valuable lessons that gave me the confidence and skills to start my law firm.

Episode Notes I doubled my revenue in November and it was an interesting lesson! After almost 14 years as a lawyer, there's parts of my job that come a lot more naturally and I've accumulated a lot of knowledge over those years. In contrast, I'm 4 years in my business and still learning lots about what it takes to run a business. Spoiler alert, it's a steep learning curve!

Episode Notes What's the opposite of being anti-corporate? For me, it means being a small business champion.
