CEO of Paragon Legal | Rightsourcing in-house law departments with flexible legal talent
A prospective client recently told me, “It seems like your singular focus on flexible legal talent is a point of pride.” 🔨 The observation was spot on. It’s an intentional and conscious decision to specialize. Specialization drives greater focus and efficiency, improving quality and expertise. Chasing shiny objects or trying to be everything to everyone diminishes quality and expertise. As a productivity nerd, it reminds me of Warren Buffett's 5/25 rule. You write down your top 25 priorities and then create two lists. On List A, you put your top 5 priorities. On List B, you put the remaining 20. List A becomes your priority list, and List B becomes your "avoid at all cost" list. When the pie is growing and your share of it is growing, why would you allow yourself to get distracted? People are our product and our service, and it takes work to do it right. We’re not in the business of software - we can’t just copy and paste our attorneys to our clients. Every person and business is a unique case. Clients have inquired about other offerings to pair with our services, and I’d be lying if I said we haven’t been tempted before. But as a human capital business, it’s nearly impossible to do people well if you’re distracted by other things. So we don’t. We stay focused on our core, give it our all, and use our energy to grow these services to more clients.
