Goodlawyer

Day 1 at Andrew Wilkinson’s IP2 was epic. We took the red eye on Wednesday night. And by 8am we were in the thick of it. 92 founders from all over the world. CA, US, UAE, Europe, Zimbabwe. For arguably the most uniquely curated (non)conference I’ve ever been to. Couple highlights? Learning Shaan Puri’s 5P’s for marketing and his insanely simple game time routine (he hosts My First Million and is an active startup investor + audience cofounder). Yes... we did push ups. Plus a deeply vulnerable chat with Patrick Campbell about Champagne f*ckery and finding your purpose—he recently sold a bootstrapped ProfitWell for over $200M. And that’s just two. I’ve met dozens of interesting people. The setting has been remarkable. The access/closeness insane. Just getting to hang out with these next level founders who are miles (and miles) ahead. Willing to share their gold nuggets. It was a beautiful thing. Can’t wait for Day 2. So much to learn. … Thanks to Danielle for making it happen. 🙏 Goodlawyer Metalab Tiny Ventures #scaleup #founders #investors

I’m digging this new art piece, freshly created by Charlton Olmos! Getting a bit Bauhaus with Goodlawyer's visual identity. Well done, Charlie. Postcards coming soon!

When I was a 4th yr Associate, I was asked how I planned to generate clients. I’ll save you the details of that meeting. But I left thinking that in a big firm w/ many pre-existing relationships, building a book would be very difficult. We’re now 10 years later. I’ve bought legal services around the world as a GC. Now I run a business with my own clients. And I stand by the plan I shared in that meeting: Build relationship trust, then sell. (Not the other way around.) So, for every Lawyer out here that wants to build your book here’s the best news — you can define how you build trust: ➙ 1:1 meetings ➙ speaking at events ➙ sharing your voice here But no matter how you slice it, I deeply believe you have to give first. Much love to the Goodlawyer team for asking me to share how I build trust on the yacht a few weeks ago. This works for me — I’d love to hear what feels right for you, my friends✌🏼 -------- 👋🏽 I’m Chad fmr GC, now Coach and TEDx Speaker 📧 DM me to elevate your Career or Team 🎧 Subscribe: What You’re About podcast

I did the Log Ride with my kids. Here’s what it taught me about B2B sales… Just joking 😂 But I WILL tell you how this picture reveals a professional truth: The reactions in the picture, from the front seat to the back, mirror the progression of a legal career. Terrified as an articling student or junior lawyer and lots of crying 😱 Then, hiding and just trying to grind your way through it 🫠 Next, into a new path (solo practice) when you’ve only ever been in-house and at a big firm 🤓 And then finally smiles because Goodlawyer is here 🤩 What seat are you in?

What’s your hard thing? 🤔 Mine is to transform how lawyers and businesses work together. And I’m incredibly lucky to be working on my hard thing with this team. Thanks for the inspiration Chad Aboud. And to Kai and Gursh for giving me space to talk about life, death, and the growth of my business (and my belly). Excited for the game tonight, gents. #GoSurge 🏀 Zeno Renewables Goodlawyer

The hardest part of my job? Matching the right legal talent to the right business. It's both an art and a science, and is THE key to a successful Fractional counsel engagement. Here’s the process I’ve followed 250+ times: 1. I help identify the problem and its impact on the business. What pain is your business suffering and what are the associated implications? Is your executive team spending too much time reviewing B2B commercial contracts? Is your existing firm handing your sales reps unworkable redlines? These challenges can slow growth, impact revenues and lead to suboptimal deals. 2. I help recognize the opportunity. This is about identifying the best solution to the problem. For example, embedding a fractional lawyer could relieve your executive team from the contracting process so they can focus on higher-impact business activities. Where would you redeploy your leadership resources if you didn’t need them on legal matters? 3. I curate a talent shortlist. Armed with an understanding of 1 and 2 above, I research our talent network for the best lawyers for your business. Relevant technical expertise is table stakes — commercial, privacy, IP, employment and regulatory compliance. Therefore I’m particularly focused on talent with relevant industry and operating experience.   Because a lawyer who has worked in your industry has negotiated with your customers,  vendors and suppliers. They know your competitors, talk to your regulators and are used to the demands of your operating environment. With the support of Goodlawyer’s account management team, the right lawyer with the right work experience can practically onboard themselves. 4. Interviews to vet and nail the talent match. I organize and oversee interviews between the top candidates and the business, where they work through real or hypothetical legal scenarios to confirm their suitability. The business then selects its top lawyer and they begin working together. My years of experience have shown me that our discovery-matching method typically leads to great matches for our fractional lawyers and customers. What elements do you think are most important for an optimal fit between a lawyer and a business? #legal #fractional #lawyer #hiring
