Join Sasha Berson as he speaks with Elise Holtzman, the CEO of The Lawyer's Edge

👉 Sasha and Elise explore:

— Developing a book of business and lawyers' motivations to earn more based on the business they bring in

— Lawyers' focus on billable hours and resistance to tasks without immediate billable credit like networking or thought leadership

— Understanding business development as a long-term investment rather than something producing instant results

— The need for firms to train lawyers in business development and coach them through the process

— Challenges smaller firms face in delegating roles and barriers to revenue growth

👉 Main takeaways from the episode:

— Creating business takes an investment of time and may not provide immediate returns, but paying off over the long run through building relationships

— Growing a firm requires owners to delegate roles to specialists and move from solely practicing law to managing business operations

— Younger lawyers want mentoring and opportunities to develop skills just as they received coaching in other activities as they grew up
