This isn’t going to be another theoretical sermon on the business of law, but how two partners  – with the help of a business expert – re-envisioned their practice, throwing out traditional models and transforming their firm into something unique.

First, we talk about looking at your law firm strategically, as you would any business. Have you thought about tweaking or refocusing your practice in a way that has the most bottom-line impact?

Then we talk about one litigation firm’s journey through that process, where they metaphorically dismantled their practice, examined each piece, and put it back together. The new version of the firm was built based on their strengths as attorneys and on activities that were most profitable.

My guest is James M. Grant, an attorney who has embraced the idea of applying strategic business thinking to the practice of law.  In that spirit, we talk about how and why he and his partner, Mark Kirchen, tried such an exercise and what he learned from it. Then James talks about a pretty profound transformation of his firm, developing a unique offering that is demonstrably different, as you will see.

James is a co-founding partner of Georgia Trial Attorneys at Kirchen & Grant LLC.  He’s an experienced personal injury litigator and trial attorney whose list of defendants includes insurance companies. James started as a state prosecutor before getting into personal injury law. He has a B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology and received his J.D. from Faulkner University.
