Your Law Firm is a Business. Take it to the Next Level Podcast artwork

What if you could spend time with experts in law firm marketing and practice management, ask them about their successes and failures, their tools and strategies; then take an insight or two to inspire your own business growth? That’s what we do each week on Your Law Firm is a Business... Take it to the Next Level. Hosted by Melanie Leonard, Esq (practice management maestro) and Mark Homer (law firm marketing master), every episode is an in-depth look at how to run a strong business, not just practice law. The goal is to introduce and reinforce the correct strategies for growing your firm but not at the expense of health and happiness.
