The Law Entrepreneur

Nakia Gray has an interesting tactic for marketing: She uses an online summit to promote her law practice and build her mailing list. She’s the perfect person to speak to on this subject, as her practice is a virtual practice that addresses the legal needs of entrepreneurs. She also has a coaching business that helps attorneys brand their firm and practice. All of these come together with the development of her legal summit that appeals to a wide array of practices and interests. This is an opportunity that many of us can take advantage of.Resources:Learn more: nakiagray.comgraylegalpc.comFacebook: facebook.com/NakiaGrayEsqInstagram: instagram.com/nakiagrayesqTwitter: twitter.com/nakiagrayesqLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nakiagrayesqbeyondthebarinstitute.cominfo@beyondthebarinstitute.comJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Robert Wright is an intellectual property attorney out of Louisville, Kentucky. Intellectual property is not a discipline I’m terribly familiar with, so I’m excited to discuss the intellectual property as it pertains to a small firm business. We talk about what your intellectual property actually is in reference to your brand, how you can protect it, and the five legal mistakes most entrepreneurs make — and how you can avoid them.Resources:Learn more: counselinthecloud.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/experiencedtechnologyattorneyJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Today’s guest is literally from the other side of the world. Catherine O’Connell is a New Zealander by birth, but she moved to Japan to study the language and worked as a practicing attorney there for years. But she recently opened her own solo practice, which is actually a first in the country. We discuss the differences in requirements between different countries, how she is making history as the first foreign female to establish a solo practice in Japan, and much more.Resources:Learn more: www.catherineoconnelllaw.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/oconnellcatherineTwitter: www.twitter.com/oconnelllawyerInstagram: www.instagram.com/nzsavvygirlJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Steven Bryant is a certified divorce financial analyst, an interesting service available to family law litigators. Had I used a CDFA when I was doing family law, I may have stayed doing that for a while longer. But even if you’re not a family law attorney, you should still find some value out of this because it shows how you can build a team of experts to supplement the legal knowledge that you have and provide greater value for your client.Resources:Learn more: www.synergydivorcesolutions.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steven-f-bryant-1a935912aJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Shelly Ingram returns! Although Shelly was just on the show a few weeks ago, in Episode 207, things have changed a lot since then, to put it mildly. In that episode, she was very excited about her new office, but immediately after we recorded there were stay at home orders issued and she had to quickly pivot to remote work. We talk about that transition, as well as the pandemic’s effect on the flow of work that she is getting.Resources:Shellyingramlaw.comFacebook: facebook.com/smifamilylawLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/law-office-of-shelly-m-ingram-llcTwitter: twitter.com/IngramFamilyLawInstagram: instagram.com/IngramfamilylawEp. 207 – From Setting Out Solo to Growing into a Small Firm – with Shelly IngramJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Friend of the show Victor Medina returns! Long-time fans will recognize Victor as the creator of MacTrack Legal and an estate planning attorney, but he also owns a financial services firm that compliments and works with his law practice. There is nobody more qualified from a legal perspective, financial perspective, and tech perspective to talk about how we deal with this crisis situation as attorneys. What do we have to do to be able to meet the needs of our clients, ourselves, and our families? He talks about where you need to focus your time and energy and what mindset you need to have in order to accomplish the goals that you have in the context of what is happening in the world.Resources:Connect with Victor: medinalawgroup.comFacebook: facebook.com/NewJerseyEstatePlanningTwitter: twitter.com/victormedinaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/victorjmedinaListen to Make It Last RadioJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
