    What School Doesn't Teach You About Being a Law Firm Owner

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a lawyer who is hoping to run their own firm in the future? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux delves into the often overlooked realities of being a law firm owner.  Running a law firm is not an easy task and it is not made clear in law school or in the early years of being a lawyer. One of the realities is making and abiding by the boundaries of being a boss. In general, you should not be friends with your employees to avoid heartbreak and not making good decisions because of feelings.  Another reality is to know how to lead people. It is one thing to start a law firm and be the boss. It is another thing to actually lead a team effectively and be successful. Leading a team also involves hiring the right people to take control of certain aspects of a firm. This comes in handy when you want to take some time off. You need to be a good leader who builds staff up to take on important roles when you need it most. Take a listen! 1:03 Importance of maintaining professionalism and boundaries with employees  3:08 Need for effective leadership to create a desirable workplace 5:13 Encouragement to keep processes simple  6:22 The isolating nature of being a law firm owner  8:08 The need for continuous learning and personal growth as a law firm leader Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.

    The Best Strategies for Running a Law Firm While Traveling with Brian Manning

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a business owner who is struggling with taking a vacation? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Jim and Tyson discuss law practice management with guest Brian Manning, a political asylum lawyer who talks about fears of leaving a law firm in the hands of colleagues to take a well deserved vacation. As a law firm owner, taking time for vacation can be stressful. This can be due to the anxiety of leaving work in the hands of colleagues or employees and not being sure if things will get done on time or effectively. Brian speaks to the things law firm owners should consider before vacation to ensure you are not stressing during a time they should be relaxing. It is important to tell your staff that you want limited communication while on vacation. This will allow teams to inquire about everything before vacation begins to mitigate any potential issues and ask important questions. Having a competent leadership team is crucial to ensuring the necessary tasks are completed during a vacation. There needs to be people who can be trusted to tackle urgent issues when they come up. For Brian, he has 2 dedicated staff members who can fill in for him to not only take on the work but also act as a leader when other staff need support or guidance. Take a listen to learn more! Jim’s Hack: Have employees who complement your strengths.  Brian’s Tip: Have non-attorney salespeople conduct consultations. Tyson’s Tip: Use a feature on the iPhone 16 where you can pause a video and record when you are ready again.

    To Help You Deal with Difficult People

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking for a way to let go of negative comments? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux discusses strategies for managing difficult interactions, particularly within the legal profession.  Managing difficult conversations is a tough aspect of working in the legal space. This is the case with colleagues, clients or strangers. While chatting with a fellow colleague, Tyson came across an interesting tactic for dealing with difficult people. The trick is to understand that people are not arguing with you but their own imagination. This is more so for those that make comments on social media. Most people who do this are trying to get their dopamine hit by getting a reaction out of you. If you understand this concept, small comments or moments of disrespect will not bother you.

    Streamline Legal Operations and Enhance Law Firm Management

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking to take advantage of a new case management system? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Becca interviews Claude Simpson, Head of Training at Smart Advocate. Claude shares his extensive experience in the legal field and provides an in-depth look at Smart Advocate's case management system.  Claude talks about the importance of Smart Advocate. It is a case management software that helps lawyers and firms manage their cases in a comprehensive and inclusive way. Many lawyers are quite hesitant to use case management softwares. One of these hesitations is believing that a case management system will do the work for a firm. Even though software like Smart Advocate can keep files organized, those in the firm still need to input the information or review the information. Smart Advocate is a tool that can make work easier and simpler for firms, but won’t do everything to keep a firm running smoothly.  There are many great features to Smart Advocate. One of them is making the client communication process better. Smart Advocate can automate messages or emails for you that are sent to the client. The software also uses templates to draft documents so staff don’t need to sit down and copy and paste information into a word document or email. Listen in to learn more about Smart Advocate! 06:49 The importance of data mapping during the onboarding process 12:18 Misconceptions lawyers have about case management software capabilities 15:20 Challenges law firms face with existing case management systems 16:13 Improving client communication and reducing staff workload 23:24 KPI’s for attorneys and case management insights Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.
