From Leadership to Legacy: How to Scale Your Firm

Working the Wow!

How do you grow your law firm, carry on a legacy, and generate success year after year?

Following in the footsteps of his father who fled Cuba and became a compassionate attorney, Alex De Castroverde had some big shoes to fill. As Alex learned early on, success doesn’t happen overnight. However, a few key principles will help you get there and continue scaling your firm.

The first step is staying true to your core values. Instead of trying to make the most noise in the busy city of Reno, Nevada, Alex and his team continue to win clients by treating them like family — something his dad had done from the start. Staying true to who you are will have a positive snowball effect.

As a leader, a key step to growth is letting go of the “hoarding” mentality. Oftentimes, leaders think that they’re the only ones who can get a job done correctly. They think they’re the only ones who can sign up a client, take a deposition, and try the case. But the hoarding mentality is an enemy of growth. If you want to see extraordinary success, you need an extraordinary team.

So how do you create an outstanding team? Alex says you need to surround yourself with attorneys who are better than you. Invest in your people, give them opportunities to gain experience, and shape them to become the best leaders possible.
