Noel Andrews: Why Delegation Is the Key to Growing a Firm

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Noel Andrews discuss:

• Prioritizing others to drive long-term success
• Delegation as a lever for higher-value work
• Hiring and managing support effectively
• Shifting from doing to thinking as a leader

Key Takeaways:

• Sustainable business growth comes from helping team members, clients, and referral partners achieve their goals first. Celebrate client milestones, develop your team, and make introductions without expecting immediate returns. Focusing outward builds trust, loyalty, and lasting relationships that compound over time.
• Lawyers often get stuck handling admin, marketing, and operations alongside legal tasks. Listing tasks to delegate frees you to focus on work only you can do and grow the firm strategically. Delegation transforms busywork into leverage and career impact.
• Start with clarity: define tasks first, then map them to a role, location, and level of support. Remote talent in regions like Eastern Europe or South Africa can provide high-quality work at a lower cost. Clear KPIs, meaningful projects, and trust are more effective than micromanaging hours.
• Resist the urge to control every detail; hire capable assistants to own outcomes. Delegating at a high level frees time for strategic thinking and future planning. Leaders must balance action with observation to maximize impact and firm growth.

"Every single time I’ve ever done the next stage for me, or the next step in really investing in supporting my team, particularly in their personal lives, the results are just huge." —  Noel Andrews

"Profit is what happens when you get everything else right." — Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia
