How can law firm leaders effectively navigate hiring, talent retention, and leadership empowerment to drive firm success?


In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill discusses recurring challenges and opportunities in building a high-performing law firm team.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Why refining the hiring process can ensure the right talent aligns with firm needs
  • How smaller law firms can compete for top talent by emphasizing growth opportunities and unique roles
  • Why empowering teams to solve problems independently fosters a culture of autonomy and scalability
