140 - The Lawyer’s Identity Trap28 Oct 202500:36:08

My guest today is none other than Liz Smith, a charismatic lady who is the Head of Talent at Bamboo Platform, which provides a centralised operational support to a group of legal businesses.

One of those is Carbon Law Partners, a consultancy law firm.

Through her work at Carbon, she helps lawyers step away from the structure they’ve always known and build something that gives them more freedom, control, and balance.

She knows that moving from a firm to self-employment is a big emotional shift, so her role is all about guidance, reassurance, and showing lawyers what’s really possible when they start to design work on their own terms.

She’s passionate about changing the narrative in law, proving that you can have both success and a life, and that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.

Before joining Carbon, Liz owned her own headhunting business for over 20 years. She understands both the ambition that drives lawyers and the fear that can hold them back.

What we're covering today is The Lawyer’s Identity Trap and how this often holds them back from creating a truly fulfilling career.

107 - The 3 Mistakes Law Firms Make that Can Destroy Their Business & How to Avoid Them18 Feb 202500:36:30

In this episode Karen takes us through the 3 mistakes that law firms make that can destroy their business, and cause them to lose fees, or cost them income and how to avoid them.

Karen has over 30 years’ experience of defending claims against professionals, primarily solicitors, accountants and tax advisors. She became frustrated by the fact that professional negligence claims caused significant devastation and harm to the 3 ‘stakeholders’- the firm, the staff and the firm’s clients, and that her role as a defence lawyer gave her an insight into the root cause of those claims, but did not enable her to prevent them recurring. In 2020 (but pre-covid) she set up Karen Eckstein Ltd, to focus on the prevention of claims, to use her expertise and experience to help firms have healthier, happier and long lived relationships with their clients, and be more profitable as a result.

Karen Eckstein Ltd has grown, with the recruitment of long time mentee Polly Coram (both Karen and Polly are Cert IRM as well as solicitors) and recently was recognised for its work in this arena at the Yorkshire legal awards.

You can contact Karen to find out about her Risk Insight. A simple and cost effective way of reviewing your firm’s risk – which looks at 10 key risks that could derail your business- and provides you with a one page report with key prioritised recommendations – it only takes 90 minutes of your time.

106 - How This Law Firm Partner Went from Exhausted Technician to Thriving Business Owner11 Feb 202500:35:31

Rob started his first firm shortly after he qualified when he was 28 and, as one of his then partners commented, they “had all the confidence of ignorance”. In 2006, Rob set up the first iteration of the Atkins Dellow business with Graham Atkins, his very good friend from law school. They operated under the umbrella of Atkins, with Graham offering boutique media and libel services and Rob focusing on company, commercial and property. That business has evolved into Atkins Dellow LLP, now a fairly ‘full service’ firm with 78 team members, five offices across Suffolk and one in South Kensington. The firm has nearly quadrupled in size in the last four years.

In this episode, we speak about how Robert had got to a point where, in his fifties, he was a successful but exhausted partner of his firm and how he finally removed himself from most operations and now enjoys significant profits while having a life at the same time!

Rob read many books about business management and personal development. He understood many theories but finds it frustrating that it’s taken him to this point as a law firm partner to implement some of the crucial tenets of being a business owner.

He made the classic mistake of creating a job for himself, working in the business, with many clients as his bosses. He advises finding someone else to manage the business for you, as it should be managed.

Also, to gain clarity of purpose and goals, differentiation, being adequately funded, and understanding management and delegation is crucial.

He also advises getting the external perspective of a coach or mentor and being prepared to be held accountable.
