In this episode, I sit down with Ron Payne, an attorney who recently transitioned from running his own firm for 13 years to joining a new law firm. We dive into what that transition has been like—shifting from being fully self-employed to an "eat-what-you-kill" model where he has support but still manages his own business. Ron shares the challenges of adapting to a new work environment, switching from Mac to PC, and learning new systems, all while keeping his practice running smoothly.
We also discuss what it means to be a "non-traditional" lawyer in today’s legal world and how finding the right firm culture can make or break your experience. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to step away from firm ownership but still keep your autonomy, this episode is for you. Tune in for some great insights on firm transitions, autonomy in law, and the evolving legal industry!
