    106. Breaking the Cycle of Urgency in Law Firms [Agile Lawyering Part 6]
    Feb 10 2026

    Does your law firm feel like it’s constantly reacting instead of progressing? In this episode, I break down how urgency becomes the default operating system in many practices and how to replace it with a calmer, more predictable way of working.

    You’ll hear how capacity limits, first-in-first-out prioritization, and simple cadence meetings can shift your firm away from fire-fighting and toward consistent delivery, without relying on willpower or heroics.

    105. The Counterintuitive Solution to Getting More Work Done [Agile Lawyering Part 5]
    Feb 3 2026

    Getting more work done often starts with doing less, even though that idea can feel uncomfortable for lawyers. When everything feels urgent, it’s tempting to push harder, take on more, and hope it all evens out.

    In this episode, I explain why the most reliable way to increase throughput in a law practice isn’t effort or efficiency, but smarter constraints. You’ll hear how counterintuitive Agile principles help firms reduce overload, protect capacity, and deliver more consistently without burning out the people doing the work.

    104. Quality Standards for Law Firms: How to Make Expectations Explicit and Work Predictable [Agile Lawyering Part 4]
    Jan 27 2026

    For many legal professionals, one of the most persistent sources of stress isn't the complexity of the law itself but the uncertainty that permeates daily work. Not knowing who's doing what, when something is actually done, or whether it's been done correctly.

    In this episode, I'm tackling this uncertainty head-on by showing you how to create explicit quality standards that serve as a stabilizing force for your practice with simple, easy-to-implement tools. You'll learn how to create fit-for-purpose quality standards, why explicit policies reduce rework, and practical guidance on developing these standards in the context of your current work without trying to boil the ocean.
