In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux delves into the often overlooked realities of being a law firm owner. Running a law firm is not an easy task and it is not made clear in law school or in the early years of being a lawyer.

Leading a team also involves hiring the right people to take control of certain aspects of a firm. This comes in handy when you want to take some time off.
