How to Fire Lawyers at Your Firm - #58

The J. Sterling Hughes Show

May 20 2024 • 25 mins

Terminating lawyers on your team is a very difficult process.  Yet, it is critically necessary for any healthy law firm to grow and serve clients well.

Every firm that is growing will have to terminate a lawyer's employment.

At Sterling Lawyers, we have fired lawyers for a range of reasons.   This show details our firm's history  in this sensitive area, including other attorneys who fired us when they resigned.

I discuss:
1 - "Why" we have terminated lawyers from our team (they all fall into three categories)
2 - Doing it well
3 - Conducting the meeting
4 - How to process the aftermath

I’m here to share my law firm’s secrets, tactics, and strategies of how we have grown from 0 to 25 attorneys and over $15m in revenue in our first nine years.

Yes! It’s true--even if you compete directly with us. I want to tell you the gritty truth on what worked, what failed, and where we are aiming next.

Here’s why.

My teammates and I envision transforming how family law clients are served.

And we can’t transform the practice of law all by ourselves. We need more lawyers growing their practice, kicking butt / taking names, and winning along with us.

So, follow me and ring that bell up top to get all my latest disclosures.
