On this episode of the Think Factory Podcast, we sit down with Jonathan Hawkins, founder of Law Firm GC, to explore the unique—and often overlooked—legal needs of law firms themselves. From handshake partnerships with no written agreements to messy breakups, succession planning, malpractice defense, and the rise of alternative business structures, Jonathan shares what really happens behind the scenes of legal practices. We dig into why lawyers are often risk managers for everyone but themselves, the growing interest in MSOs and outside investment, and how AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping (and sometimes complicating) the profession. It’s a candid, insider conversation about law firms as businesses—and why even lawyers need lawyers.
