Best Friends And Firm Co-Founders On The Best Way To Run A Virtual Practice

Thriving during the pandemic can be done.

On the latest episode of The Jabot podcast, I speak with Kelly Culhane and Heather Clauson Haughian of Culhane Meadows. We chat about the process of opening up their own firm, and the values they believe to be the most important when establishing a practice. We also discussed the particular benefits and challenges of being best friends and business partners, as well as the biggest changes to their firm due to COVID. We also spoke about tips for practicing law virtually.

The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Happy listening!
