    The Best Employees are NOT on a Job Board

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a law firm owner who is looking to hire for their firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson delves into the challenges of hiring in law firms, inspired by a listener submission from Ryan Webber.  Hiring within law firms is a very important aspect to ensuring a firm is successful. Relying on job boards, like LinkedIn, is not a lucrative way to hire talent. Law firms need to focus on proactive hiring to find suitable employees. Tyson provides the example of networking as a great way to hire. Former employees will often provide great recommendations for who they think would be great fits for a firm. Proactive hiring also involves firms marketing themselves to prospective lawyers. You need to tell candidates why you are the best firm to work for and why they will be successful. Sometimes this involves investing in marketing campaigns or meeting the prospective candidate where they are at. Most recruiters don’t realize that hiring top talent is a dance between the prospective employee and a law firm. Both need to come to the table prepared to interview each other and pull out all the stops to ensure each side picks the other.

Sparked by a guild member's post, they delve into frustrations over vendors failing to deliver on promises.  Vendors can be a pain for any business owner, especially if agreements are not held up on their end. This can really cause issues for companies, especially for those that rely on vendors for systems, like CRMs. Tyson and Becca chat about the issues vendors cause for law firms, such as creating problematic products that they think will lead to issues in retention. Becca stresses the idea that client and employee retention is kept with the use of exceptional products and vendors need to be accountable as it relates to that. Becca provides listeners with some tips when dealing with vendors. One tip is to dedicate time to communicating and negotiating with vendors. It is easy to just give in to the first vendor you speak to, who might be selling you a product at a great price. But, this can cause issues when you don't do enough research and end up with a bad product. Ensure to take your time and understand all aspects of a vendor before signing a contract!

The Five Business Development Profiles:The Expert – Focuses solely on skill mastery, assuming clients will come.The Confidant – Builds strong client relationships but lacks a structured growth strategy.The Debater – Challenges clients and pushes hard for innovation but risks alienating them.The Realist – Offers brutal honesty but can be perceived as pessimistic.The Activator (The winning strategy) – Proactively builds and leverages relationships, making strategic connections and driving business growth.The Activator Playbook – How to Grow Your Firm Like a True Rainmaker: Commit to Business Development:Set aside dedicated time (at least 2-3 hours per week) for networking, outreach, and lead generation.Balance time between nurturing existing clients and acquiring new ones.Expand and Leverage Your Network:Attend industry events and engage on LinkedIn.Introduce clients to other attorneys and create strategic partnerships.Set a goal to make three new connections per week.Create Value Before Clients Ask:Send legal updates, trends, and strategic advice without waiting for clients to request it.Offer proactive insights tailored to your clients’ needs.Choose 5-10 key clients and send them something valuable this week (a checklist, legal update, business tip, etc.).Action Steps: Start blocking time for business development on your calendar.Actively seek and make three new connections each week.Find ways to provide unexpected value to clients to reinforce your authority and relationships.Connect with us!

    How to Create an Internship Program That Actually Works with Adam Rossen

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a law firm owner who is looking to create an internship program for your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Adam Rossen, who shares insights on the successful internship program at Rossen Law Firm. Adam discusses the evolution of the program and highlights the value of informal yet immersive experiences for interns. Internships within the legal space are important experiences that help prepare law students for life as a lawyer. Adam talks about the significance of good internship programs and why law firms who don’t have them need to create a viable program. Internship programs will look different across firms, but it is crucial to sit down and think about what aspects of being a lawyer should be taught to interns. Does your program involve tasks like research, client intake or trial support? Think about what soft skills need to be taught like effective client communication and projecting confidence when presenting a case at trial. As a law firm owner, it is important to provide interns with the skills they need to be successful and think about how your internship program can improve as the years go on. Internships also provide students with the chance to differentiate perception versus reality as it relates to working in the legal space. Many who watch legal dramas, like Law and Order might be fooled into thinking law and law enforcement are the same as what is shown on TV. Adam emphasizes that the legal space is not glamorous at all times. There is a lot of hard work that can take months to complete as a case makes its way through the criminal process. There is also a lot of administrative work involved and interactions with different types of people that can make the work both exciting and stressful.

    The HR Mistakes Killing Your Law Firm Culture (And How to Fix Them) with Dr. Melvin King

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you thinking about improving your HR systems? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, host Tyson interviews Dr. Melvin King about the pivotal role of human resources in law firms. They discuss the importance of understanding generational differences in the workplace and the critical components for fostering a good work environment. Dr. Melvin King emphasizes the importance of HR as it relates to the relationship between the employee and the employer. The work environment includes employees of different generations and HR needs to balance the needs of everyone. Whether it be Boomers or Millennials, every generation works differently and values the work they do differently. Most companies will look to millennials for job opportunities or transitions as this generation is more eager to change things up. Boomers in the workplace might just be focused on retirement and will ride the wave until the end. HR departments can really make or break a company, especially if they are not working to ensure employees are supported. There are certain things HR professionals should adopt so employee satisfaction is high and retention is maintained. For example, knowing how to deliver constructive criticism is key. It is important to understand the personality of someone you are speaking to so you can gauge how they will take and react to information presented to them.  Listen in to learn more from Dr. Melvin King! 2:58 The value of succession planning within a firm 5:47 Strategies for balancing the needs of different generations 14:11 How to deliver constructive criticism in the workplace 16:21 How to create effective HR systems 31:15 The importance of having a positive HR culture Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.
