Cost-Plus Legal Strategy: A Smarter Way to Grow Your Firm
July 19, 2022

We are simply a species hard-wired to survive the day, not the decade, and while this is natural, it’s also costly.

Bad Hire Cost: Avoid This Expensive Mistake
April 20, 2022
The cost of a bad hire isn’t quite on par with that of marrying the wrong person but it’s close. Bringing a new employee onboard means investing in a new relationship and when things go south both tangible and intangible resources are wasted.

Life is not exactly peaches and cream at present. The Covid-19 pandemic is showing no signs of going away, social issues continue to sow division across the U.S., inflation is on the up and up (and up and up and up…), gas now costs more than Chanel N°5 (ok, not literally but you get the point), and the closest thing we have to a unifying cause is also the scariest war the world has seen since the 1940s. If in the midst of all this, you notice employee wellbeing in decline, you’re not imagining it. Studies show that wellness at work is hitting new lows, which is why now, more than ever, you need to be brainstorming some great work perks.
Reviews of Attorneys Boost Law Firm Marketing Results
March 17, 2022
Every entrepreneur knows that before you can promote your product, you need to ensure all your T’s are crossed and your I’s are dotted. If your operation isn’t buttoned-up, presenting it to the public will do more damage than good.

Think Amazon snapping up Zappos in 2009, or Facebook purchasing Instagram in 2012. In the world of media, the same is true. Condé Nast bought Reddit in 2006. Axel Spring snagged Politico last year. In law, however, this doesn’t happen…and small firms ultimately pay the price. Nowhere is this more evident than where legal staffing is concerned.
