Listen Later

You opened your law firm to build something lasting, and let’s be honest, working from a closet probably wasn’t part of that vision.

But that’s exactly where I ended up when we outgrew our space. Literally. A supply closet.

This is why, in this episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I share with you the seven most commonly overlooked strategies lawyers miss when signing for office space, and how to avoid those costly missteps (so you don't end up in the same situation I ended up in).

Whether you’re stepping into your first brick-and-mortar or leveling up to support a growing team, this episode will show you how to negotiate like the savvy lawyer (and business owner) you are.

Listen now and learn:

  • Why a commercial broker is your secret weapon
  • The math behind your total lease cost (spoiler: it’s not just rent)
  • How to negotiate free rent and other hidden benefits
  • What a competition clause is
  • The critical clause that gives you room to grow and room to leave

If you’re thinking of signing a lease now, then this is the episode for you, so don't miss it!
