  212: L.A. Perkins Author of Why Brand Protection Matters with Trademark and Brand Protection Strategies for Law Firms 08.09.2026 39мин

  A strong brand can become one of a law firm’s most valuable assets, but failing to protect it can create expensive problems as the business grows. Jay Berkowitz speaks with L.A. Perkins of Perkins Law - Brand Protection, author of Why Brand Protection Matters, about the decisions business owners should make before investing heavily in a name, slogan, logo, or other intellectual property. L.A. explains the differences between trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, what preliminary searches can and cannot tell you, and why owning a domain does not mean owning a brand. She also shares how writing a book strengthened her thought leadership and visibility.

  Law firm growth creates a difficult operational challenge: every new case brings more calls, follow-ups, administrative work, and pressure on the people serving clients. Jay speaks with Matt McCarren of HelloCounsel.ai about how AI voice agents can help firms scale without sacrificing responsiveness or continually adding staff. Drawing on his experience building the operations of a multistate law firm, Matt explains how AI can answer overflow calls, route clients, complete intakes, update case files, pursue medical records, and handle repetitive outbound tasks within a firm’s existing technology.

  207: Authentic Personal Branding for Sustainable Law Firm Growth with Ilona Anderson 04.08.2026 43мин

  A law firm’s strongest brand is not built through polished graphics alone. It grows from authenticity, trusted relationships, and a clear understanding of the clients the firm wants to serve. Jay sits down with Ilona Anderson, founder of Carpe Diem Law Firm, about leaving traditional practice, building multiple legal businesses, and creating a personal brand that reflects her interests, values, and entrepreneurial experience. Ilona explains why new firm owners must prioritize clients and revenue before logos and websites, how AI can accelerate execution without replacing human creativity, and why relationship-based networking produces better referrals than transactional promotion. She also shares practical employment-law safeguards and trademark considerations for business owners.

  206: TGR Live! 2026: Four Ways to Make Millions More from Your Cases with Steve Gursten, Trial Lawyer 28.07.2026 42мин

  In this keynote presentation from TGR Live 2026 - Growth Strategies for Law Firms trial lawyer Steve Gursten shares Four Ways to Make Millions More from Your Cases. Steve explains how lawyers should itemize injuries for adjusters but present their cumulative impact to juries, and why chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and cognitive effects must be framed together. He also shows how lay witnesses, universal values, work evaluations, medical testing, AI review, and wearable sleep data can strengthen credibility and prove economic loss. For firms competing in an increasingly crowded market, selective trial strategy and consistently stronger results can create referrals, differentiation, and sustainable growth.Key Topics01:13 – How Steve turned final offers ranging from zero to $30,000 into verdicts between $1 million and $15 million by reframing undervalued cases around permanent disability.03:33 – Why lawyer referrals, internet marketing, and a reputation for superior results helped Steve grow his firm organically from four to twenty-six lawyers.08:27 – The three-part case-value framework: try big and settle small, present the combined effects of impairment, and make the client worthy of a substantial verdict.10:52 – How a credible trial reputation can increase an insurer’s settlement authority and why demand packages should make injuries easy for claims software to evaluate.14:42 – Why traditional explanations of pain are outdated and how chronic pain can cause structural, chemical, and functional changes in the brain.18:50 – How to combine physical injuries, cognitive limitations, emotional effects, sleep disruption, and fatigue into a persuasive total-disability narrative.23:31 – The objective tools available for proving brain injury and when chronic pain may provide a more credible explanation for an acquired brain injury.28:58 – How universal values, consistent recovery efforts, and testimony from employers and other lay witnesses can make clients more likable and credible.34:29 – Why fatigue may be a client’s most disabling condition and how work evaluations, medical testing, AI review, and sleep data can establish future economic loss.40:54 – Jay connects Steve’s trial framework to brand building, referrals, search visibility, and the importance of making stronger results a law firm priority.Resources MentionedTechnologyXactimate (Claims estimating software) – https://xactimate.com/home/NeuroQuant (Brain volumetry software) – https://www.cortechs.ai/neuroquant/Oura Ring (Sleep and fitness tracker) – https://ouraring.com/OtherAmerican Association for Justice – https://www.justice.org/Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation – https://shop.lww.com/Journal-of-Head-Trauma-Rehabilitation/p/0885-9701Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/dsmSocial Security Administration – https://www.ssa.gov/About our Guest:Steven Gursten is widely recognized as one of Michigan’s leading trial attorneys.

  Many law firms assume video marketing requires expensive production, large budgets, or on-camera talent, but the bigger challenge is creating consistent content that answers the questions prospective clients are already asking. In this latest webinar, YouTube and Video Strategies for Law Firms, Jay Berkowitz of Ten Golden Rules is joined by Dan Milikow of iShoot Direct and Clifford Coleman of Coleman Multimedia to explore practical approaches for using video to build visibility, authority, and trust.

  In this special Episode #200 we sat down with a legend in the legal consulting industry Tim McKey of Vista consulting and we created a list of The 10 Golden Rules of High-Performing Law Firms. Many law firms focus on getting more cases but overlook the operational systems that determine whether growth is sustainable. Jay Berkowitz and Tim McKey, CPA and founder of Vista Consulting, discuss the ten characteristics they see most often in high-performing law firms, from working on the business instead of in it to building accountability through operating systems, data tracking, intake excellence, and process improvement. They explain why culture, onboarding, compassionate leadership, and client experience have a direct impact on profitability and long-term success. The conversation also explores how firms can improve case outcomes through better systems, use objective metrics to coach teams, and prepare for future succession or acquisition opportunities. Firms that intentionally build strong operations create better client experiences, stronger financial performance, and greater business value over time.Key Topics00:03 – Why law firm owners must work on the business, not just practice law, to create sustainable growth.06:16 – How operating systems such as EOS help establish accountability, communication, and goal alignment.09:00 – Using operational metrics and objective data to improve performance and coach team members.12:05 – The three intake metrics every law firm should track to improve conversion rates.15:00 – Examining every system and process to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and case value.17:33 – Questions and client communication strategies that help improve case outcomes and resolution value.20:12 – Why culture must be intentionally designed rather than allowed to develop by default.22:17 – The tools, training, and expectations framework for compassionate leadership and employee development.26:54 – Onboarding strategies that help firms place the right people in the right seats from the start.30:39 – Developing succession and exit strategies, including how firms can become investment-ready through strong systems and operational excellence.34:35 – Tune into The Golden Rapid Fire Questions Resources MentionedTechnologyMicrosoft SharePoint (Collaboration Platform) – https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/sharepointClickUp (Project Management Software) – https://clickup.comCaseStatus (Client Communication Platform) – https://www.casestatus.comHona (Client Experience Platform) – https://www.hona.comBooksThe E-Myth Revisited – Michael E.
