Finding a way to demystify the most challenging elements of growing a sustainable law practice? Here's what they didn't teach you in law school... 😉
This week, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting to premier coach, skills trainer and business development for attorneys keynote speaker, Steve Fretzin!
If this didn't keep Steve busy enough, he has written for some of the biggest names in the US law indusry such as American Bar Association, National Law Review and Attorney at Law Magazine AND he hosts the highly rated podcast ‘BE THAT LAWYER’ where he chats to top rainmakers, marketing experts and legal tech gurus to share practical tips, fresh ideas and new methodologies!
If you're not on social media these days, you're living in the dark ages, aren't you? Some say that the legal industry is a sector that still very much lives in the past and has a long way to go. Certainly from conversations we've had with previous guests, many people in the legal sector still shy away from using social media either from a professional or personal perspective. Well, not this week's guest!
We've been chatting to Legal Industry Consultant, Chad Aboud. Chad is the Board Director for Community Music Schools of Toronto. He is previously a General Counsel at AudienceView and was responsible for leading the legal function for an international portfolio of tech companies. Prior to this, Chad was the Senior Corporate Counsel for Indigo and a Corporate & Securities Lawyer at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP.

Misconceptions, fear and lack of knowledge are common words we associate with the future of technology and even more so about artificial intelligence but should we be optimistic about the direction of AI and the purpose it can serve in law enforcement?
It is still a common misconception that you must have attended University and completed your LPC to be able to guarantee a job in law. There is no doubt that this may be the easiest route into the legal sector but it's not the ONLY way and this week's guest is telling us how she managed to become a Legal Executive via a different route...
Gemma Adams works as a Legal Executive specialising in criminal law. It was not until 2011, when she obtained a role as a Legal Secretary, that she was ''bitten by the criminal law bug''. She studied part-time at University, whilst working and raising her daughter, graduating in 2017. She then went on to enrol at CILEX Law School, completing further studies and graduating as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2022.
This year, Gemma obtained her rights of audience and she is now ''on her feet'' in Court, as well as now being able to attend to clients at the police station.
Alongside Gemma's busy career, she is also the Founder and Director of Women in Law Kent. Her mission is to build a community for women to empower, support and connect women in the local area.

The legal sector is wide in its variety; from private client to blockchain and to property, family and criminal - they're all equally exciting in their own right but how often are we able to dive deep into the day-to-day life of a solicitor acting in arguably one of the 'juiciest' areas of law?
The term "white-collar crime" refers to a financially motivated, nonviolent or non-directly violent crime committed by individuals, businesses and government professionals and this week, we're chatting to white-collar crime defence lawyer, Tim Harris.
Tim trained as a solicitor at Eversheds, before specialising in business and white-collar crime in the financial services sector, at Bark & Co Solicitors and then Simmons & Simmons. While at Simmons, Tim was a legal secondee at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Now, he is a counsel at Cohen & Gresser LLP, focusing on international and regulatory investigations, regulatory enforcement and financial crime compliance.
