In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Daniel Scola discuss:
- Developing business skills as a lawyer
- Balancing legal expertise with emotional intelligence
- Transitioning from in-house counsel to a law firm partner
- Competing with larger firms for corporate clients
Key Takeaways:
- Building strong relationships with general counsel often involves using emotional intelligence to understand their concerns and tailor communication effectively.
- Transitioning from in-house to a law firm typically requires learning business development skills, relying on initiative and building relationships to attract clients.
- To compete with larger firms, smaller firms can emphasize personal attention from experienced attorneys, offering more direct and hands-on service.
- Understanding the internal pressures on general counsel, such as how they communicate up the chain, helps lawyers offer tailored solutions that ease their stress.
"If you just say, 'I can do it for a cheaper price,' it's not going to work... You have to emphasize that an experienced person will do the work... not a first-year associate with three others reviewing it." — Daniel Scola
