#206: Top Prioritization Methods for Lawyers (When Everything Feels Like A Priority)
You’re closing a deal or in the middle of a case that’s dominating your time, when suddenly a colleague barges into your office needing your expertise. Right after that, your biggest client calls with an “emergency” (that might not be a true emergency but does need to get done soon, and they’re your biggest client, after all). And you’ve already blocked off the afternoon to take your son to get his school physical. How do you manage all of this?
Deep breath. Today, we are covering:
>>> The top prioritization methods for determining what to do, when.

#203: Lawyers, You Have A Responsibility
A lot is going on in the world, and within our country, that’s unsettling (to say the least). Some of this is even impacting lawyers and law firms. Before going any further, the answer to your question is… Yes, I’m going “there”. But note: it’s probably not quite what you think.
We keep saying we need better political leaders. But what if our political leaders aren’t the real problem? And what if we attorneys could be a guiding force for much-needed change? I believe we not only can be, but should be a guiding force. Because we lawyers have a responsibility - not just to speak up but to hold ourselves to higher standards and walk the talk.

#200: Lateral Partner Moves: What Every Law Firm Partner Needs To Know
A warning before making a lateral partner move: Most law firms are better at selling the dream than they are at delivering it. That isn't because they're misrepresenting anything, but more about the fact that most lawyers and law firms aren't great at:
- Setting clear expectations,
- Identifying whether an attorney is truly a fit, or
- Running worst-case scenarios (that could upend the best of plans).
That doesn't mean you can't make a lateral move! On the contrary, it can be one of the best decisions for you and your law practice.
But before making a lateral move, listen to today's podcast to learn everything you'll want to ask, consider, and analyze. Because the last thing you want is to trade one set of untenable problems for another set (that could be even worse).
