How to Build the Dream Team That Will Double Your Law Firm’s Revenue
This episode brings you inside a powerful session from the Law Firm Growth Summit, where Moshe dives deep into how to assemble a dream team for your law firm and avoid the most expensive hiring mistakes.
Law firm owners constantly tell host Moshe Amsel the same thing: “I can’t find good people.” But in this episode, Moshe challenges that mindset—and shows exactly what’s really holding you back from hiring top talent.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, stuck with underperformers, or afraid to offer competitive salaries, Moshe breaks down how to approach hiring differently—so you can build a team that not only gets the work done but drives serious growth.
From calculating the actual cost of a bad hire (spoiler: it’s close to $200k) to setting up salary ranges that attract A-players, Moshe lays out the exact strategies he's coached law firm owners through to grow fast without breaking the business.
In this episode, Moshe shares:
- Why “Hire Slow, Fire Fast” needs to be your hiring mantra
- What really happens when you rush to fill a seat
- The step-by-step hiring process every law firm should follow
- What to do when you desperately need help yesterday
- How to use stopgaps like project-based labor or raising prices to avoid costly mistakes
- The mindset shift that separates firms that scale from those that stall
If you want to double your revenue without doubling your stress, this repurposed segment delivers timeless strategies that apply whether you attended the Summit or not.
🎧 Tune in now and rethink the way you build your team.
