If your practice isn’t built on your values, it may be costing you more than you realize.

In this episode, Bridgit Norris sits down with Amanda DuBois, founder of DuBois Levias Law Group and one of the longest-standing women-owned firms in Washington, to explore what it really takes to design a law practice that reflects who you are at your core.

With over 30 years of experience, Amanda reveals how authentic leadership, intentional culture, and mentorship can reshape not just the way you practice law but the way you live your life.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on building a firm that honors both your principles and your profitability.

By the end, you’ll see that the most powerful strategy isn’t growth at all costs—it’s courageously leading with purpose.

Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Amanda:

1. Revenue Follows Culture

Profitability naturally flows when a firm prioritizes values, excellence, and community engagement rather than chasing money first.

2. Vision Over Fear

Defining the environment, team, and client experience you want creates clarity that attracts alignment and success, instead of anxiety and scarcity.

3. Hiring Beyond Résumés

Life experience—such as parenting or second careers—often brings empathy, resilience, and judgment that enrich client service and team culture.

4. Mentorship as the Model

Replacing the traditional “sink or swim” approach with structured training and support builds competence, confidence, and loyalty.

5. Freedom Through Flexibility

Remote work, transparency, and honoring personal priorities create an environment where lawyers thrive without sacrificing family or well-being.
