How to Actually Hire a
Great Legal Team

Your hiring problem isn't a marketing problem.
It's not a budget problem. It's a system problem — and it's costing you more than you think. Every bad hire, every ghost, every person who leaves in 90 days: there's a pattern. In this 4-part series, we're breaking it down and building the process that actually works.

If you're stuck in the hiring loop,
this series is for you.

Sound Familiar?

Save my seat!

You've hired the same role three times in two years. You're tired of onboarding, hoping, and starting over again.

Someone on your team isn't working. Maybe they never were. You've been waiting nine months for things to turn around.

You hire from gut feel and prayer. You know you need a system — you just don't have time to build one from scratch.

You found a great candidate — responsive, enthusiastic, checked every box. Then nothing. They ghosted you and took another offer.

4 LIVE SESSIONS

The Curriculum

Save my seat!

Everything you need to stop the revolving door.

Each session builds on the last — from attracting candidates all the way through making the hard call when it isn't working.

You'll walk away with:

Most law firm owners hire the way they did their very first hire: post a job, read some resumes, trust their gut, and pray. The problem isn't intention — it's the absence of a repeatable system. This session walks through the Smart Hire® Solution process in full — from writing a job post that attracts the right people to conducting an interview that actually predicts performance.

Tuesday, June 16 · 7:00 PM ET

Session 2

The Hiring Process We Actually Use — Step by Step

You'll walk away with:

An interview scorecard that removes gut-feel

A 90-day success profile that defines "great" before day one

A reference check structure that tells you what resumes won't

A job ad formula that attracts and filters out the wrong applicants

Hiring is only half the battle. The other half — the part most firms skip entirely — is what happens after someone accepts the offer. The #1 reason great hires leave in their first 90 days isn't compensation or culture fit. It's that nobody showed them what success looked like, who to go to with questions, or how the firm actually runs. They felt dropped. So they left.

Session 3

The Onboarding That Actually Retains People

You'll walk away with:

A complete day 1–90 onboarding plan ready to implement

A daily huddle template that functions as a retention tool

Performance milestones that create clarity and remove ambiguity

A stay interview script that surfaces problems early

You lost them before you ever made the offer. This session pulls back the curtain on exactly what's happening at every stage of your hiring process that's causing candidates to disengage — and what to do about it. You'll see the real data on candidate response time expectations, the exact language that kills offers before they're accepted, and the specific moments where law firms lose people they could have kept.

Tuesday, June 9 · 7:00 PM ET

Session 1

Why Your Best Candidates Ghost You (And What to Do About It)

Nobody talks about this part. But it's the part every attorney-owner is thinking about. You have someone on your team who isn't working. You've given feedback, adjusted expectations, told yourself it would get better. And now you're nine months in, still waiting. This session walks through the Smart Fire Solution™ framework without the sugarcoating — plus a live Q&A where you bring your real situations. Active team drama welcome.

Tuesday, June 30 · 12:00 PM ET

Session 4

When to Fire, and When to Retrain — When You Hired Wrong from the Start

You'll walk away with:

A mis-hire recognition checklist — early warning signs most owners miss

A real performance improvement process that gives people a fair shot

The Smart Fire decision framework that removes emotional paralysis

Language for the actual conversation — what to say and what to document

A candidate experience audit for your own process

Offer letter language that closes, not repels

A competing offer script that keeps candidates engaged

Response time benchmarks — how fast you actually need to move

Who This Is For

Save my seat!

You're an attorney-owner or managing partner who handles hiring decisions — or wishes someone would handle them better.

You've made at least one hire you regret and you want a real system so it never happens again.

You're ready to build a team that runs without you babysitting every task, deadline, and decision.

You know something has to change — and you want a proven framework, not more theory.

“Working with Molly and her team is one of the best decisions I made as a law firm owner. She empowers my team to operate independently and efficiently, which frees up so much of my time and energy to focus on my clients and my firm’s strategic growth. She has been integral to our growth over the past few years!“

Your hiring expert...

I've spent 29+ years inside law firms — watching smart, driven attorneys get buried in people problems that have nothing to do with practicing law. Bad hires. Constant turnover. Team members who look great on paper and fall apart in the role.

I built The Smart Hire® Solution and the Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ because the problem isn't the people you're hiring — it's the system (or lack of one) around them. This masterclass series is the clearest, most direct version of everything we've learned working with 5,000+ law firm clients.

Four sessions. Four frameworks. One complete system that ends the revolving door.

Have Questions? We've Got Answers!

Do i have to attend all four sessions?

Each session stands alone, but they build on each other — and the full series gives you the complete hiring system from first contact to (if necessary) final conversation. We recommend attending all four, but you can drop in on any session that's most relevant to where you are right now.

will replays be available?

Yes. Register once and we'll send you the replay for any session you miss. Live attendees get first access to Q&A and bonus resources, so if you can show up live — do it.

how long is each session?

Each session runs approximately 45-60 minutes, with time for live Q&A built in. Session 4 includes extended Q&A — bring your real team situations, not hypotheticals.

is this relevant if i only have a small team?

Especially relevant. The earlier you install a hiring system, the less time and money you waste correcting the mistakes of hiring without one. This series is built for firms at every stage — solo practices making their first hire through mid-size firms dealing with chronic turnover.

what's the cost?

All four sessions are completely free. Register once and you're in for the entire series. No upsell required to access the full content.

Stop the revolving door.
