Jim Lundy: Embracing the New Reality

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jim Lundy discuss:

  • Why you want to grow your own book of business.
  • Balancing business development, marketing, client service, and the billable hour.
  • Changes to the legal community because of the current pandemic.
  • Giving and assisting with sincerity.

Key Takeaways:

  • The best way for a lawyer to be their own boss was to develop their own practice
  • Treat your business development as important as the billable hour.
  • View other lawyers as collaborators and as potential referral sources, not as competitors.
  • We need to embrace the new reality and use the virtual opportunities that we have to continue to interact with our clients and potential clients.

“Whether you’re on your own as a solo, whether you’re in a small firm, or whether you’re in a large firm, I think you do have to view yourself as your own businessman.” —  Jim Lundy
