Lawyer Leadership Within Virtual Law Firms

Episode 74: Lawyer Leadership Within Virtual Law Firms With Guest Elise Buie

by Heather Moulder | Life & Law Podcast

Interested in joining (or one day starting) a virtual firm? What does it take from a lawyer leadership perspective? And is there a difference between how to lead within a virtual law firm vs. a traditional law firm?

Join me and guest Elise Buie for a conversation that covers all of the above.

Elise opened her own virtual law firm before virtual became a thing (pre-pandemic). And quickly learned that she needed to become a more effective leader to make it work.

Regardless of your interest in virtual law firms, I encourage you to listen to today’s conversation. Because Elise shares so many valuable leadership insights that I KNOW you’ll benefit from.

Here Is What’s Covered In Today’s Episode:

The keys to making a virtual law firm work (that’s also applicable to hybrid firms and those with flexible structures).
Why virtual won’t work for everyone (and how to figure out who it will work for vs. who it won’t work for).
The difference between leading and managing (because they’re not the same thing).
What being a good leader means, and how to cultivate the right mindset for effective lawyer leadership.
