What if resilience in legal practices had less to do with software features and more to do with people, purpose, and small wins that stick? In the first episode of a new Legal Sector Resilience Podcast series, our Editor Emma Waddingham, sat down with the host of the popular Empowering Law Firm Leaders podcast to unpack what SME firms actually do to grow stronger and smarter without burning out their teams or budgets.

Hosted by Amy Bruce at Osprey Approach, the Empowering Law Firm Leaders podcast draws on insights from the many podcast conversations Amy’s had with operational leaders, consultants, and managing partners.

In their fireside chat, Emma and Amy explore the stand out conversations, advice and lived-experience shared by podcast guests, covering a range of business and cultural issues, including:

  • Why resilience before technology
  • Standout lessons from over 22 episodes
  • Time, resource & change barriers
  • Value pricing & pioneer groups
  • Fail fast, with purpose
  • Selling legal services: curiosity wins
  • Risk, growth & fractional talent
  • Culture, wellbeing & innovation roles
  • Purpose, cashflow & alignment
  • The rise of fractional support
  • Practical tech adoption

Expect actionable takeaways, candid stories, and a simple challenge after listening to this podcast: pick one pain point, one pioneer group, and one outcome to progress this month.
