  • Doubling Your Law Firm Profits by Working Less with Chris Guymon, the Founder of Time Freedom for Lawyers
    Jul 10 2024

    Join Sasha Berson as he speaks with Chris Guymon, the Founder of Time Freedom for Lawyers


    👉 Sasha and Chris explore:

    — How the four-hour rule focuses attorneys' work only on cases that have funds in their trust account to ensure they are working on paid matters

    — Common exceptions to the four-hour rule for certain practice areas like personal injury or contingency fees

    — The benefits of the four-hour rule like being able to collect payment on nearly all hours worked and not losing money on employees.

    — How there is a lot of opportunity in law through inefficiency and solving clients' pain points in new ways without needing fancy business expertise.

    — The idea that with some innovative approaches, attorneys can make good money with less effort by addressing client needs instead of just replicating typical practices.


    👉 Main takeaways from the episode:

    — Adopting strategies like the four-hour rule that focus attorneys' work on paid cases can significantly increase revenue by collecting payment on nearly all billable hours.

    — Simplifying processes, like completing divorces in three months through flat fees and limiting pre-mediation work, leads to better client outcomes at lower costs.

    — Non-traditional approaches to law practice, such as Chris' move into coaching, can improve work-life balance while maintaining or increasing income.

    — With innovative thinking, attorneys have opportunities to earn more per hour worked by addressing inefficiencies compared to typical billable hour models.
