The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

406. How to Build a Law Firm Culture That Actually Works


Listen Later

Culture isn’t a happy hour or words on a wall. It’s the foundation that determines whether your firm thrives or fractures.

As part of the “Road to the Summit”, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12-13, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this encore episode of the Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we take you back to the 2021 EVOLVE Summit.

Jessica Mogill sits down with the Game Changing Culture Panel, featuring Reza Torkzadeh, John Martin, David Craig, and Mark O’Mara. Together, they share how intentional leadership, clear communication, and the use of tools like Kolbe and PRINT® have helped them build strong, high-performing cultures within their firms.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How intentional leadership creates unity, accountability, and lasting impact
  • How tools like PRINT and Kolbe help firms hire and retain top talent that aligns with their mission
  • How to reduce drama, strengthen communication, and build a culture where everyone thrives

  • Every firm has a culture. The only question is, are you creating it or letting it create itself?
