Your best lawyer shouldn’t run your firm.

Yes, they’re brilliant. Clients love them. They win cases.

But here’s the hard truth: being great at law doesn’t mean they’re great at leadership.

Too many law firm owners make the mistake of promoting their top-performing attorney into a leadership role, assuming that intelligence and drive will naturally translate into management success.

It doesn’t.

Because managing attorneys need more than sharp legal skills—they need the ability to lead people, build systems, and drive growth.

So, what should you be looking for instead?

In this week’s episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, we’ll unpack the nine critical attributes every managing attorney must possess to truly move your firm forward.

You’ll hear:

• Why great lawyers often struggle as managers
• The difference between responsibility to your team vs. for your team
• Why delegation isn’t optional if you want to scale
• How managing attorneys handle tough conversations without the drama
• Why a managing attorney who wants to be “the star” is a major red flag

Ready to hire a leader who builds your business instead of bottlenecking it?

Then tune in now!

Are you putting your entire ad budget into Facebook or Instagram?

When it comes to law firm marketing, many lawyers think that the best way to get their names out there is through Facebook or Instagram.

But here’s the truth: LinkedIn is the only platform that is indexable by search engines. If you’re relying solely on Facebook or Instagram, your visibility stops where the algorithm ends.

Let’s also be clear: choosing a marketing channel is just one piece of the puzzle.

In this week’s episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, we continue our deep dive into the key differences between B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) marketing and why confusing the two can cost your law firm real results.

Listen in now and learn:

• Why urgency drives B2C and how long-term trust rules B2B
• How social media usage changes across both models
• What kind of content resonates with each audience
• How to properly track conversion metrics for each of these models

Whether you’re looking to capture quick wins or nurture corporate relationships, understanding these distinctions can make or break your law firm marketing’s ROI.

Is your marketing strategy not working for you? Then don’t skip this episode!

Many law firm owners find themselves feeling frustrated, stuck, and unsure why their marketing efforts aren’t delivering the results they want.

But here’s what they often forget: marketing a law firm isn’t one-size-fits-all. The way you market to a business is very different from how you connect with individual clients.

And if you’re thinking about expanding your practice into new areas or just want to fine-tune your marketing, understanding the difference between B2B and B2C marketing is a must—that is, if you actually want to scale.

Not sure where to start?

No worries, I’ve got you covered.

In this week’s episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I kick off a two-part series that breaks down exactly how B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) marketing strategies differ and why this matters for your law firm’s growth.

Listen in now and learn:

• Why B2B marketing requires a longer relationship-building process compared to B2C
• How your target audience should shape your entire marketing message and tone
• The differences in sales cycles and buyer journeys that can make or break your success in either space
• Why building authority and trust looks very different when speaking to an executive board versus an individual client
• How to tailor your messaging to connect with multiple decision-makers (and why that’s so important in B2B)

Are you ready to build a marketing strategy that actually works?
