99. Bob Simon, Justice HQ – Collaboration before Competition
When Bob Simon started his own law firm over a decade ago, he came across a number of obstacles that any solo practitioner or small firm would recognize. Having overcome these barriers and gone on to build the incredibly successful Simon Law Group, Bob was adamant to help others on their own journeys, and so he co-founded Justice HQ. This membership-based organization encourages collaboration over competition, and arms solo practitioners and small firms with all the resources and support they need to compete at the same level as large practices. In this episode, Bob and I talk about the transformative work of Justice HQ, the marketing strategies of the Justice team, as well as Bob’s experience both as an attorney and a business owner. What’s In This Episode? Who is Bob Simon? What improvements would Bob like to see in legal education and training? Why is collaboration so key to the success of small and solo practices? In what ways can Justice HQ assist small firms? How has Covid accelerated the need for technological innovation within the legal industry? Why does Bob value working with family so highly, and what benefits does he see in doing so? What approach does the Justice Team take towards marketing, and how do projects such as Bourbon of Proof come to fruition?
