As we've grown Sterling Lawyers to 25+ attorneys and $15M in revenue, one of the toughest challenges has been getting lawyer compensation right. 

In this episode, I sit down with my partner, Jeff Kerlin, to walk through our 2024 journey of transforming our compensation model. 

We share:

  • Why our original percentage-of-collections model that worked for years started breaking down
  • The painful lessons we learned from rushing changes in 2022
  • How Jeff Kerlin led a 14-month process to rebuild trust and create a new model that works for everyone
  • Our path to creating clear growth opportunities for attorneys at every level

Listen in for an honest look at one of the most challenging aspects of running a growing family law firm. Hope this helps you grow your practice!
