A practical conversation on the business, structure, and strategy behind long-term law firm success.

Featuring Jonathan Hawkins

You don’t feel the cracks until the firm really starts to grow. 

A partner relationship strains. An outdated engagement letter doesn’t hold up. And policy never catches-up to the pace of hiring. These aren’t one-off issues. They’re the moments that decide whether your firm grows with control or by chance. 

In this installment of the LegalFenix Webinar Series, I’ll sit down with Jonathan Hawkins, founder of Law Firm GC and author of The Law Firm Life Cycle, to unpack the practical decisions that protect firm owners at every stage. 

What we’ll cover…

• How to leave a firm cleanly and protect client relationships
• The engagement letter updates every firm should make before year-end
• Hiring and partnership agreements that prevent tomorrow’s conflicts
• What to know about ABS, MSO, non-lawyer investment, and ethical lines
• How to approach succession and ownership transition before it’s too late

Who should attend…

• Firm owners, partners, and operators who make business decisions
• From solo practices to multi-attorney firms, if you’re thinking about growth, partnership, or long-term control, this one’s for you
  

We’ll walk through the key stages of a firm’s evolution, where Jonathan will share the same frameworks he uses when advising lawyers through breakups, growth, investment, and succession. 

You’ll leave this session with a clearer picture of how to protect and position your firm for what’s next—whether that means cleaning up an engagement letter, tightening partnership terms, or exploring future ownership and investment options.
