Learn how scaling a law firm with DISC helps improve hiring, communication, and overall growth.

Successfully scaling a law firm requires more than just legal expertise—it demands strong leadership, strategic hiring, and effective communication.

Ashley’s journey from a decade in the legal industry to launching her own practice wasn’t just about practicing law—it was about building a firm that runs efficiently and profitably. A pivotal moment at ClioCon led her to Atticus coaching, where she discovered the power of DISC in law firm management. By understanding personality profiles, Ashley optimized hiring, improved team dynamics, and refined client interactions to create a more productive and collaborative environment.

Through DISC, Ashley identified the strengths of her team members, ensuring that tasks were aligned with individual skill sets. This strategic approach not only boosted team morale but also led to increased profitability. She also reveals how applying DISC principles in client interactions has enhanced trust, improved service delivery, and strengthened attorney-client relationships.

Whether you’re struggling with hiring, leadership, or firm culture, this episode offers practical strategies for integrating DISC into your practice. Ashley’s insights prove that understanding human behavior isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for law firm growth.
