Law Firm Growth Lab

Most attorneys were never taught how to run a business. They were taught the law.

In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Lab, Scott sits down with Brooke Lively, fractional CFO and author of From Panic to Profit, to break down the six foundational numbers every law firm owner must understand to scale with confidence.

If you have ever felt financial stress, uncertainty about cash flow, or that constant feeling that you are missing something inside your firm, this conversation will give you clarity.

Brooke explains:

Why cash flow forecasting matters more than revenue

The real challenge firms face between $1M and $5M

How to identify your firm’s monthly “Black Friday”

The intake and conversion metrics that predict future cash

Why many compensation plans quietly eliminate profit

The rule of thirds and what healthy margins actually look like

These are forward-looking numbers that create options, prevent cash crunches, and help owners finally get paid what they deserve.

In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Lab Podcast, we sit down with Iris Albizu, founder of Albizu Law Firm in Austin, Texas, to explore how empathy and language can become a firm’s most powerful growth tools. Iris shares how building a fully bilingual office has allowed her to serve Hispanic families with understanding and authenticity, while setting her firm apart in a competitive family law market. She also dives into the importance of training staff for compassion, maintaining transparency with clients, and using cultural awareness as a foundation for long-term trust. For family and immigration law firm founders, this conversation offers a practical look at how human connection can drive measurable business growth.

Pricing feels risky until you know your numbers. In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Lab Podcast, fractional CFO and CEO Jeremy Driver breaks down a practical framework for law firms: establish your true delivery cost, set a 3 to 4x cost floor, price under the value ceiling, and review pricing at least twice a year.

We talk client grading, using price to attract ideal matters, cash flow forecasting, and the reports every founder needs to scale. If you run an immigration or family law firm, this is your blueprint for profitable growth.

In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Lab Podcast, Scott Berry talks with business strategist Jeremy Driver about the process of buying or selling a law firm.
