In this episode…
In a traditional law firm setting, many lawyers focus so much on practicing law and serving clients that business growth may take a back seat. But with client demands evolving and junior attorneys wanting more growth opportunities, attorneys must market and develop their firms. How can you balance these competing roles while fostering your strengths and aiming for success?
After joining a law firm as a partner, esteemed attorney Jacqueline Newman recognized an opportunity to build and grow the business using strategic infrastructure and marketing techniques. Rather than outsourcing business development representatives, Jacqueline recommends building credibility gradually by emphasizing your talents and participating in public speaking opportunities. This allows you to advance your strengths and promote your firm as a reputable company.
Join Elise Holtzman in this episode of The Lawyer’s Edge Podcast as she speaks with Jacqueline Newman, the Managing Partner of Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, LLP, about nurturing your strengths to achieve a successful and rewarding career. Jacqueline explains how personal recognition impacts client acquisition and firm growth, how she balances multiple roles, and why attorneys should nurture associates’ strengths.
