In this week's The Art of Lawyering Podcast interview I sit back down with Keane Ng to discuss the qualities of a five million dollar law firm owner.

The thing about starting a law firm and building a profitable law firm is that there's no mystery to success. There is a formula that, if followed, will essentially guarantee your success.

In this week's episode we deep dive into the traits of a profitable law firm owner making $200K to $500K and making $500K to $5 million.

From the first time I met Keane I knew he was someone I wanted to get to know better. He embodies these traits and motivates me every day to continue to push forward. I hope in this talk today we did the same thing for you.
