Attorney Levels at Sterling Lawyers with Holly Mullin - #93

The J. Sterling Hughes Show

Holly Mullin and I have an insightful conversation about the lawyer career development process from Associate to Managing Partner.
She goes into detail with real-life examples and stories from consultations, settlement conferences, and court hearings that highlight how she mentors and trains in our firm’s future leaders.
We also discussed:
- Sterling’s tiered system for career progression
- Why lawyer proactivity is necessary for fixed-fee models to work
- The importance of shadowing senior attorneys
- Lawyering skills necessary to advance from associate to partner

Enjoy!

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.

I also love me some fishin’ as often as I can. It’s also occasionally fun to catch a fish too!
