About this listen

In this episode of What One Thing, we sit down with Catherine Wenborn, founder and Managing Director of Vines Legal, a specialist family law firm in Chesterfield. Catherine shares her journey from employed solicitor to business owner, revealing how she went from launching with just four client files to leading a growing, niche legal practice.

We cover:

  • Why she turned down an equity partnership to launch her own firm
  • How offering a free initial consultation became a powerful growth tool
  • The transition from working in the business to working on it
  • How business coaching and leadership training helped her evolve as a managing director
  • The power of outsourcing and building a trusted team
  • What it really takes to maintain quality, compliance and culture as you scale

Whether you're in law, professional services, or any B2B industry — if you're a business owner with a team looking to grow, you'll find valuable insight and inspiration in Catherine's story.
