More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope

1 year ago, a law firm founder told me their biggest fear. (It wasn’t AI.) It was losing the rainmaker. The partner who brings in the big clients. The one who could walk out & take half the revenue with them. For decades, that’s how law firms grew. But things are shifting. AI isn’t just automating admin. It’s DEMOCRATISING business development. This doesn’t replace your rainmakers. It amplifies what makes them great So you’re not left exposed. So growth doesn’t depend on one person. Because the real risk isn’t losing your rainmaker. It’s building a firm that only works if they stay. Today, I'm sitting down with Jody Glidden and James Wang, the founders of Postilize, a groundbreaking AI platform that’s transforming how law firms build relationships and win business. Jody is a serial legal tech entrepreneur and the brains behind Introhive, a leading CRM intelligence platform. James is a BlackBerry veteran who led global ISV strategy, secured over $30M in partner-driven revenue. Today we talk about a topic that I've never heard people discuss, will AI kill the traditional law firm rainmaker?

There’s a culture in law that no one really talks about.  The culture of not asking.  Not talking about money.  Salary secrecy  But this silence comes at a cost.  It can create confusion.  It can reinforce inequality.  It can break trust.  It can keep people stuck.  Understanding your worth isn’t just about numbers. It’s about building a life that works for you. Staying in the dark isn't just disempowering. It's expensive. In this episode, I sit down with Jono Randell-Nash, ex lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers.  Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex- director of international tax and transaction services at EY and founder of WealthBrite, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially savvy lawyers. We explore the culture of salary secrecy in law firms, the widespread financial literacy gap across the legal industry, and the key questions lawyers should be asking to take control of their financial wellbeing.

So many associates think they’re on the path to partnership… But they’re not even close. And no one’s telling them. Some are chasing an invisible finish line. Because the steps to partnership? Often they're not written down. Or the goalposts keep shifting.  So is it still worth it?  That depends on one thing:  Clarity. Clarity from firms.  Clarity from leaders.  Clarity for associates to make empowered decisions about their careers. Because without it, we’re fuelling a cycle of disillusionment, quiet quitting, and talent loss.   In this exclusive conversation with Brandon Renken, trial partner at Mayer Brown and Helen Pamely, ex law firm partner, we discuss: – Why so many associates feel misled about the path to partnership – What really happens behind closed doors when partnership decisions are made – The silence around feedback and how it creates confusion and resentment – The surprising metrics that matter (and the ones that shouldn’t) – How transparency or the lack of it shapes the future of law firms   Find out about Brandon Renken here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-renken-91b7937a/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-renken-91b7937a/] Book a discovery call with Helen if you want to learn more about the path to partnership here: https://lp.helenpamely.com/career-coaching-discovery-call --- The ULTIMATE starter pack for LinkedIn for lawyers: 11 interactive tools designed to elevate your personal brand and turn connections into clients.
