Alejandra Leibovich, Co-Founder of How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm, explains how law firm owners can get off the ground and take flight to escape the “doctrine of sacrifice” mentality. She also recounts the early days of How To MANAGE and the origin of TAYE ASTUYA.
Stuck on the Ground
Running a profitable law firm requires a strategic bird’s eye view. Ale shares how struggling law firm owners stay bogged down in day-to-day tasks such as answering phones or cleaning toilets. This “ground level” thinking focuses on control and quality, but fails to effectively delegate those tasks, create systemized processes, or build in profitability.
“The only way for your law firm to grow is for it to help more people.”
