Through a disciplined commitment to foundational principles and growth-oriented behaviors, Dan Lynch built a 10-lawyer Firm and a $1 million ++ annual book of business, surpassing the average lawyer by a wide margin. While practicing law and generating business, Dan regularly mentored his associates and articulated these principles and behaviors. He teaches these principles to his four children as well. Then one Monday morning, Dan was blind-sided when five partner-level lawyers of the Firm came into his office and announced, without notice, We're leaving. This group proceeded to recruit support staff and some of Dan's own clients away from him. The betrayal caused Dan to question the things about life and business that he had believed in and so often articulated. As he debated the answers to these questions and tried to learn from this situation, Dan recruited and hired. He did what he had always done to build a team and build a business. Two years later, The Lynch Law Group had more lawyers, more staff, and more revenue than it did at the time of the betrayal. The Firm was also voted one of the top 100 Best Places to Work by the Pittsburgh Business Times in each of the years following the betrayal. In this book, Dan shares the principles and behaviors he used to build a successful firm, not once, but twice.

| building a law practice: The New Law Business Model Ali Katz, 2021-01-12 You became a lawyer to help people and have a great life. Instead, you're working insane hours, not making the money you had hoped, and are not fulfilled by your life as a lawyer. Ali Katz was struggling with the same issues while also being a single mom who needed control of her calendar. When she saw major flaws in the way lawyers, like herself, were taught to serve families and small business owners, she decided to do something about it. Ali developed a new way to practice law-one that puts relationships before transactions. And while that made her happy, the icing on the cake was that she started generating over $1 million annually in just three years, all while going to her office just three days a week. Now, Ali brings this knowledge and experience to bear in The New Law Business Model. If you're a lawyer, there's no need to abandon your dreams. In this book, Ali shows how to use your most valuable asset-your law degree-for the good of families, small businesses, and most importantly, your well-being. Pulling from her own journey, Ali shares the roadmap she followed and insights she found that made her success possible. The old law business model is broken. It's time to replace it with one that works for you, your family, and your clients. It's time to take back your time, your income, and your humanity. The New Law Business Model was created to guide inspired lawyers like you into a new era. |

| building a law practice: The Power of a System John Fisher, 2014-01-06 What if you had total control overyour hours and weekends? What if you didn't have toanswer to anyone? What if you took control over your future? When you work for someone else, you don't control your future. Your boss decides how much money you make and how many hours you work. For many, the law is just a job that you do to make ends meet and pay the bills. It's time to change that It's not just about work and money.

THE POWER OF A SYSTEM Torts, contracts, constitutional law...you got your fill in law school of theoretical concepts that you need to pass the bar exam. But then a funny thing happened, you got out of law school, opened your new law firm and you realized something--no one ever taught you how to run your own law firm in law school. Suddenly, you're on your own with fancy new letterhead, a few clients and not much else. Your dusty law school books aren't much help. It's great to have your book smarts and fancy law degree but how do you pay the bills every Friday when your staff wants their paycheck? You pull your hair out wondering how you got yourself into this mess. This book was written for you. You are not alone. Yes, others have done the same thing before you and believe it or not, there are tried and proven recipes for success. Instead of fumbling around like the other lawyers in your town and just waiting for your phone to ring with your next case, you study the recipe and principles for a big-time injury law firm and little by little you begin implementing systems into your new law firm. You have in your hands tried and proven systems for the injury law firm of your dreams. It's not just the technical aspects of running your own law firm, but the managerial and entrepreneurial principles that you must have to keep a constant stream of new cases and clients coming down the pipe. And no, these are not law school theoretical concepts but the technical, managerial and entrepreneurial how to steps that have been tried and tested over years of trial and error. You won't find a book like this in your law school library...or anywhere else. Law school's out--no more time for theoretical concepts--it's time to get bills paid, move cases to trial, start making money and begin living life on your terms.
