The Common Law Firm Model that is Almost Guaranteed to Fail


Resource Links:



As a consumer - what do you look for when you buy?


When it comes to choosing toothpaste, a plumber, a new smartwatch or something else…


It’s likely you’ll gravitate towards a product or service that combines decent quality with a fair price.


It’s a no-brainer. 


We avoid overpaying for something we can get cheaper elsewhere. Except...


...when we have a compelling reason to spend more on a product.


We spend more for the promise of quality (think Apple). And we pay extra for the promise of a superior experience (staying at the Hilton vs. the Motel 8). 


In other words, the promise of “better” is the key to profitability for many products and services.


Better is worth more.


And it should be no different with law firms.


In fact, if you want to survive in the long-term -  your law firm must be better. 


Today, host Jan Roos discusses why this common law firm model is attractive in the short-term - but can have devastating effects in the long-term. 


Using real-world examples, he demonstrates the one thing firms can do now for future success.

    Colleen Joyce, CEO of Lawyer.com, returns to the show to talk about the Lawyer Growth Summit, happening July 15–17 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas.This one's a little different from the usual playbook. Colleen and her team built LGS around a simple principle: nobody sells from the stage. After learning the hard way with post-COVID boot camps (and 100% churn), they rebuilt the event around peer learning, tangible action items, and the kind of "tell me how you actually did that" conversations that happen in the hallway and at the bar.We get into:Why brand is now the top of the marketing funnel — and how the biggest-name firms are growing social followings into six figures and pulling referrals from social aloneThe new world of AI SEO, featuring Justia CEO Tim Stanley sharing directory and search expertiseHow LGS is built for any growth-minded firm (with a heavy personal injury crowd), not just one practice areaThe experience side: a vendor lounge with no hard sells, high-end food and bev, and fun evening events (including a luxury retail store buyout with champagne and prizes)Bonus for staying through Friday the 17th: the Backstreet Boys at The SphereTickets, agenda, and speakers are all at lawyergrowthsummit.com.
