Hiring decisions are some of the trickiest choices law firm owners make. Wait too long, and you end up buried under the work, scrambling to keep up. Hire too early, and you're sweating payroll and questioning whether the work will sustain the role. The constant back-and-forth of when to hire and who to hire can leave even the most disciplined owner feeling stuck.

In this episode, Melissa shares a practical, data-backed approach that replaces guesswork with clarity. She walks you through how to calculate your buy-back rate, understand producer multiples, track net cases, and build production models that create real leverage. These tools help owners make smart, confident hiring decisions based on truth instead of gut feel, ensuring every new hire strengthens the firm's health, profitability, and long-term success.
