I said to everyone who joined the firm: “You’re not joining the legal profession – you’re joining the energy industry.”
Michael Beatty, with Michael Wozniak
Sole Focus on Energy Drives Preeminent Law Firm
- When Jen Lester of Philosophy Communications asked me to create an episode celebrating the founders of the Beatty & Wozniak law firm she said "These guys are great, they're characters, you'll love them." I trust Jen so I agreed. I had no idea how much fun this interview would be, how much I would enjoy Mike and Mike, and learning about how they built the firm. This episode is more broadly instructive than about creating a thriving specialty law firm. Mike Beatty and Mike Wozniak illustrate how having the courage to go all in, 100%, with focus on a niche, can win, and win big - and how they did it. And not just any niche - it has to be the right niche - we talk about that. And we talk about how to have a successful partnership, clients as friends, partners as friends, and living ones' values. Initially this was going to be a privately distributed episode. It was just too good not to share (with permission) with everyone. It's one of my favorites.
