Episode 44 of the "Everything Except The Law" podcast has arrived! This time we're speaking with Stephanie Everett, the CEO of Lawyerist and co-author of "The Small Firm Roadmap Revisited: A Guide to the Healthy Law Firm of Your Future".

In this episode, Stephanie and podcast host Nick Werker discuss the biggest issues with how small law firms have been traditionally run, why small firms shouldn’t be afraid to ditch their hourly billing system, why the release of Microsoft 365 Copilot is a grand opportunity for lawyers and much more!

About our guest:

Stephanie understands what it’s like to practice law and run a business. She started her career at a big law firm before co-founding her own real estate litigation firm. As the managing partner, Stephanie watched her firm grow from two lawyers to a team of twenty people in just seven years.

Her passion for running a business led her to pursue coaching and consulting so she could help other lawyers who work hard, but often felt stuck in their business. In 2016, a joint venture comprising the State Bar of Georgia, the Georgia Supreme Court, and Georgia’s five law schools tapped Stephanie to design and launch Lawyers for Equal Justice, an incubator helping newer lawyers start socially conscious law firms.

Stephanie joined the Lawyerist team in 2018 and launched the Lawyerist Lab program—helping lawyers grow and sustain a healthy business.
