Bob Glaves, the executive director at the Chicago Bar Foundation (CBF) for over 25 years, reflects on his journey from private practice to leading a foundation dedicated to promoting access to justice and supporting pro bono and legal aid efforts. Bob describes the numerous initiatives and challenges the CBF has undertaken, including the Justice Entrepreneurs Project (JEP), which helps public service-minded lawyers launch innovative practices to serve unmet legal needs. He highlights the significant market gap between those who qualify for legal aid and those who can afford traditional legal services, noting that initiatives like JEP aim to help entrepreneurial lawyers fill this void by adopting alternative business models and smart use of technology. Bob also delves into the implications of AI and technology on the legal profession, stressing the importance of adaptive pricing models like subscription services and fixed fees. He emphasizes that the traditional billable hour model is becoming less viable, particularly as AI dramatically reduces the time needed for many legal tasks. Bob advocates for modernizing the regulatory environment and legal education to better prepare lawyers for these changes, noting that partnerships and networks, such as the Above the Line network, play a crucial role in supporting innovative legal practices. He underscores the pressing need for the profession to embrace change to better serve a broader spectrum of clients while maintaining ethical standards and delivering high-quality legal services. __________________________ Learn about the Chicago Bar Foundation .

Dazza Greenwood, a technologist turned lawyer, discusses the transformative potential of generative AI, particularly in the legal field. Greenwood’s background includes public sector work, law practice focused on technology, and current work assisting companies and governments with technology rollouts, especially where legal or regulatory constraints exist. He also maintains a research affiliation with MIT, focusing on the “over the horizon” implications of technology. Greenwood expresses excitement about the current generation of AI, emphasizing its ability to handle nuanced, qualitative tasks previously beyond technological reach. For Greenwood, generative AI bridges his dual interests in technology and law. Greenwood highlights the shift from traditional AI to generative AI, which he believes is revolutionizing how computers perform cognitive tasks. He draws parallels between how humans acquire language and how LLMs comprehend unstructured data. He also discusses the emergence of “agentic AI,” where AI is wrapped in applications to perform complex tasks, and how it can revolutionize law firms. Greenwood believes firms that effectively integrate these multi-agent systems will gain significant advantages in cost structure, quality, and speed, ultimately changing the landscape of legal services. He encourages lawyers to experiment with AI tools and explore new business models to remain competitive in this evolving field. __________________________ Learn about Dazza Greenwood .

In the sixth episode of How to Run a Law Firm in 2025, Lauren Lester and Mathew Kerbis discuss how they evaluate and discover new technology for their practices. They emphasize the importance of identifying specific needs before adopting new tech tools and warn against “shiny object syndrome.” They discover new technology through various channels including podcasts, ads, client recommendations, and industry newsletters. They stress the importance of hands-on testing through demos before committing to new software and discuss how they evaluate the cost-benefit ratio of tech investments, particularly for flat-fee practices where hourly calculations don’t apply. They note that while legal-specific technology often lags behind general business tools, they prefer “best of breed” specialized solutions over all-in-one platforms. They also discuss the importance of regularly reviewing their tech stack to eliminate unnecessary subscriptions and ensure their tools remain cost-effective. They suggest tracking software and subscription costs to help make informed decisions about new technology investments. __________________________ Check out my new show, the Law for Kids Podcast .

In the fifth episode of How to Run a Law Firm in 2025, Lauren Lester and Mathew Kerbis discuss strategies for pitching legal services and creating marketing materials. They explore the challenges of crafting effective elevator pitches, particularly when handling multiple practice areas. The hosts share their experiences with different pitching approaches, including Kerbis’ memorable marketing jingle and Lester’s focus on “protecting your peace.” They emphasize the importance of using simple, non-legal language and focusing on solving client problems rather than highlighting attorney credentials. They delve into practical marketing tools, with both hosts praising Canva for creating professional marketing materials like flyers, business cards, and one-pagers. They stress the value of in-person networking events for practicing and refining pitches, even for practice areas that might not seem obviously suited for business networking. The hosts recommend the StoryBrand framework for defining client problems clearly and suggest that marketing materials should prioritize client benefits over attorney qualifications. Throughout the discussion, they highlight the importance of authenticity in marketing and the need to adapt pitches for different contexts and audiences. __________________________ Check out my new show, the Law for Kids Podcast .

Law firm partners Damien Weinstein and Brian Klein discuss their journey of founding Weinstein + Klein, a New Jersey-based firm, after leaving their previous positions at larger firms about six years ago. The two attorneys share their early experiences of starting a firm with minimal resources and learning through trial and error. They emphasize their focus on being a good business rather than just a good law firm, with Weinstein handling corporate transactional work and Klein focusing on employment law and litigation. The partners detail their recent transition to a subscription-based billing model, moving away from traditional hourly billing. They explain how they discovered this model when a client requested a flat monthly fee, and how they've since refined their approach to include regular client updates, proactive communication, and will incorporate comprehensive monthly summaries of work performed. While they acknowledge some challenges in convincing established clients to switch to the subscription model, they highlight the benefits, including better client relationships, more proactive legal work, and the ability to provide value beyond traditional legal services. The partners note that their subscription model allows them to serve as fractional general counsel for small and mid-sized businesses at a cost significantly lower than hiring traditional in-house counsel. __________________________ Learn about Weinstein + Klein .

In the second episode of How to Run a Law Firm in 2025, Mathew and Lauren have a candid discussion about the importance of law firm naming decisions and practice pivots. The hosts share their experiences with different naming approaches - one chose a traditional surname-based name while the other opted for a descriptive name reflecting their niche. They explore how firm names can impact client perceptions, marketing, and the ability to pivot services later. The discussion then shifts to the challenges and process of pivoting law practices, emphasizing that such changes often take significant time and careful consideration. Lauren describes transitioning from family law to estate planning, tax, and prenups after nine years, motivated by burnout and work-life balance concerns. Mathew shares how he “burned the boats” and how it was hard to build a practice inside another law firm. They highlight the importance of having a support system when making major practice changes, the value of continuing legal education resources for learning new practice areas, and the need to overcome the sunk cost fallacy when considering a pivot. The hosts emphasize that while changing direction in legal practice requires intentionality and preparation, it is entirely achievable and can lead to greater professional satisfaction. __________________________ Check out my new show, the Law for Kids Podcast .

Attorneys Mathew Kerbis and Lauren Lester kick off their joint series on How to Run a Law Firm in 2025! In a candid discussion about choosing business entities for law firms, Mathew and Lauren share their experiences and insights for new lawyers starting or running their own practices. Both initially chose to form LLCs, with Lauren using Google for research nine years ago and Mathew following the example of previous firms where he worked and checking with his state’s Supreme Court. They emphasize that while the entity choice is important, new lawyers shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough when starting out. Both started as single-member LLCs with pass-through taxation. Lauren transitioned to S corporation taxation status years later while Mathew is planning to do so in the near future. They stress the importance of working with CPAs for tax matters, maintaining separate business and personal finances, and building up a financial cushion before taking regular payments from the business. The key takeaway is that lawyers don’t need to choose S corp status immediately when forming a LLC, as the entity taxation structure can be changed later when it makes financial sense (in consultation with a CPA). __________________________ Check out my new show, the Law for Kids Podcast .
