You Don’t Have a Talent Problem—Your Law Firm Has a Structure Problem Shownotes can be found at https://www.profitwithlaw.com/533. Most law firm owners don’t have a leadership problem—they have a leadership gap they never intentionally built for. And that gap quietly shows up as: growth that stalls, teams that depend too heavily on the owner, and a firm that can’t scale without burning you out. In this episode of Profit with Law, Moshe Amsel sits down with leadership expert Julie Lancaster, President of Lancaster Leadership, to break down what’s actually missing inside most law firms when it comes to building strong, scalable teams. Julie brings decades of experience and hundreds of performance evaluations to lay out what it really takes to move from “everyone does the work” to a firm that runs on real leadership layers.
