How to Quit a Law Firm - #78

The J. Sterling Hughes Show

Lawyers frequently fire the law firm they work at. The leave. They quit. They resign.
This happens way more than law firms firing a lawyer.
There are best practices to follow in order to best position your career for success.
Over the last ten years, I have had a front row seat to 30 lawyers firing our law firm. Some did it very well, and others, . . . not so much.
In this show I explore how to:
- Keep the big picture in mind
- Build a great source of future referrals
- Protect your reputation and network
- Execute the process professionally
- Handling the aftermath
- Plan your contingencies in case your firm does not do the right thing
- and much more . . .
This isn't a podcast about what you can get away with legally. It's about doing the right thing relationally and for your future.

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.
