Is it possible to run a profitable law firm without sacrificing the legal team’s work-life balance?Our guest, Hannah Genton, Founding Partner of CGL LLP, says unequivocally: YES.Hannah knew that pursuing partner at a traditional law firm would be an uphill battle, especially as a Mother. In 2017 Hannah and her founding partner Noem Cohen launched CGL, LLP - a fully distributed law firm focused on disrupting the legal industry by providing top-quality legal services combined with true work-life balance for attorneys. The firm has doubled revenue every year and has clearly demonstrated it is possible to achieve lofty business and revenue goals without creating attorney burnout.Sure, there were plenty of chances to forego their mission for money. But they chose to fiercely protect their attorneys and say no to certain clients.Hannah shares all the obstacles and challenges they overcame to stay true to their mission while building a profitable practice.00:00 - Meet Hannah08:45 - origin startup story23:00 - what it means to be a fully distributed law firm - not the same as remote!34:00 - how CGL pairs clients with the best attorney while meeting the work/life balance goals of their legal team37:00 - lessons learns while figuring out best pricing strategies40:00 - advice for scaling a law practice 51:00 - how entrepreneurship has served Hannah, personally and professionallyTo learn more about CGL LLP, visit https://cgl-llp.comand connect on social via:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahgen...Twitter: https://twitter.com/hannahgenton Thank you for carving out time to improve your Founder Game - when you do better, your business will do better - cheers!Ande ♥Ande Lyonshttp://andelyons.comANDELICIOUS RESOURCES:JOIN STARTUP LIFE LIVE MEETUP GROUPGet an alert whenever I post a new show!https://bit.ly/StartupLifeLIVEAGORAPULSEMy favorite digital marketing dashboard is AGORAPULSE – it’s the best platform to manage your social media posts and presence!
