Michelle Etchebarren is a single mother of four kids who has transformed her initial role as a law firm filer into a serial entrepreneur within the legal industry. She successfully managed a law firm and spearheaded its growth before founding Attorneys in Motion, the first company to integrate technology similar to Uber for matching attorneys with court appearances. During the pandemic, she faced severe business challenges but rebounded by creating Law Beez, a marketplace for legal services. Michelle is adamant about the importance of business processes, self-mastery, and embracing failure as stepping stones to success.
How can small law firms and solo practitioners efficiently scale their practices without the overhead of permanent staff? In today's ever-evolving legal landscape, maintaining flexibility and efficiency is paramount. Is there a way to leverage technology and outsourcing to achieve this balance?
According to Michelle Etchebarren, a seasoned entrepreneur in the legal services industry, the answer lies in smart outsourcing and innovative technology. She highlights that outsourcing tasks like legal writing and court appearances can help firms manage workload fluctuations without the burden of full-time employees. By embracing these strategies, law firms can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and enhance their ability to handle both busy and slow periods effectively.
In this episode of 15 Minutes, host Chad Franzen sits down with Michelle Etchebarren, Founder, CEO, and President of Attorneys in Motion and Founder and CEO of Law Beez, to discuss how technology and outsourcing can help legal practices scale efficiently. They talk about the origins of Law Beez, the benefits of a lean business model, and strategies for educating attorneys on outsourcing. Michelle also shares her personal journey and insights on overcoming challenges in the legal industry.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
