🔑 Key Takeaways:

Running a wildly successful law firm isn’t about being the best lawyer in the room—it’s about building a business that runs efficiently without you being in the day-to-day legal work.

Here’s what stood out from my conversation with Jennifer Gore, founder of Atlanta Personal Injury Law Group:

✅ Your law firm is a business—treat it like one. If you’re only focused on being a great lawyer and not a great business owner, your firm will struggle.

✅ Marketing isn’t optional. Jennifer has always had in-house marketing because she knows her brand voice is too important to outsource completely. If you don’t have a strategy, you’re invisible.

✅ Batch your work. Stop jumping from client calls to admin work to marketing. Jennifer has structured days for leadership, marketing, deep work, and content creation. This eliminates distractions and maximizes productivity.

✅ Invest in the right vendors—and hold them accountable. Monthly check-ins with SEO teams, PPC vendors, and marketers aren’t a luxury; they’re a necessity. If they’re not showing you results, they’re wasting your money.

✅ Scaling means stepping back from the legal work. Jennifer hasn’t had a caseload for years—her job is growing the firm, not handling cases. If you want to scale, you need to hire the right people and let go of control.

✅ Mistakes are part of the process. She’s hired the wrong people, wasted money on bad marketing, and made financial mistakes. But the key? She learned, adjusted, and kept moving.

🚀 Final Thought: Whether you want to be the face of your firm or build a business that runs without you, you need a clear strategy, strong leadership, and a commitment to treating your law firm like the business it is.

🔥 If you’re serious about growth, ask yourself: Are you running a law firm, or is your law firm running you?
