Never Multiply by Zero with Tyson Mutrux

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking for some advice on how to maintain a successful law firm? In this episode of "Maximum Lawyer," host Tyson explores the concept of "never multiplying by zero," inspired by Chris Williamson. Tyson applies this mathematical principle, in four ways to law firms. This concept means that anything multiplied by zero always equals zero. As it relates to law firms in particular, a “zero” will cancel out everything else. For example, if a law firm is doing exceptionally well, but there is one area or team that is dropping the ball, it can negate all the hard work the firm is doing. When it comes to clients, many will disregard all the great things you did with their case if you failed or underperformed in one area. This rule drives home the idea that as a lawyer, you need to avoid pitfalls instead of amplifying successes every time. This concept can also be used when talking about client neglect. Clients bring in the business, money and success for a firm. Without clients, a firm would cease to exist. It is important to ensure you are communicating with clients and meeting their expectations. Focus on maintaining the clients you have instead of trying to sign new clients.This will ensure clients are happy and that they refer people to you. Listen in to learn more! 2:09 How a single critical area of failure can negate a law firm's successes3:16 The need to focus on avoiding pitfalls 7:08 How ignoring client needs can potentially damage a firm’s reputation18:29 How clear goals help in making informed decisions Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this episode, Tyson Mutrux chats with Tiffany Webber, a lawyer and firm leader about navigating the complexities of running a law firm while balancing a personal life.

One of these challenges is having an open door policy with staff, where nothing can get done because there are always questions and concerns brought to her attention. Mitigating this for Tiffany involves setting boundaries with staff and saying no to things. Running a business involves staying connected with employees and ensuring they are set up for success. For Tiffany, it is important to know who fits best for your business and taking action to replace people if needed to make sure your business doesn't suffer due to underperformance.

Navigating the Challenges of a Niche Market with Ashley Garbe Smith

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a lawyer who is looking for some advice on starting a firm? In this episode, Tyson interviews Ashley Garbe Smith, an attorney and founder of AGS Law, which specializes in dental transitions. Ashley shares her journey of starting her law firm during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Ashley provides some insights on the benefits and lessons learned from narrowing a practice as it relates to running a law firm. For Ashley, who used to work in the dental field, niching down in the legal space to do dental transitions was a familiar thing. For those who are hoping to narrow down a practice field, it is good to think about areas you already have expertise in. Did you focus on a specific practice in law school? Did you spend a year articling for a specific lawyer and learned the ins and outs of that field? Play to your strengths when you are thinking about narrowing or niching down your firm. It is no surprise that lawyers are very busy and suffer from burnout quickly. Ashley and Tyson chat about the importance of self care for lawyers. Most lawyers wear many hats and dedicating time to self care will not only allow you to last longer in the business but have a better outlook on life. Schedule self care into your busy calendar and make it known to your colleagues the importance of it. This can help you stay on track to dedicating time to it and show others that it matters to you so they respect that time.
