On Episode 6 of Behind the Business, Maha Mansoor & Michael Nistorescu, the husband-and-wife team behind Mansoor Law, join Faheem Savja for a conversation about building a thriving law firm while raising a family.

From launching their practice to scaling with a client-first approach, Maha and Michael share the realities of working together as spouses, the lessons they’ve learned as parent-entrepreneurs, and how their community-driven mindset has shaped their business.

They open up about:

🔹 How their clients and community fuel their growth

🔹 The most rewarding parts of running their own firm

🔹 The reality of entrepreneurship—beyond the highlights

🔹 What they’d tell their younger selves about business ownership
