The Law Firm Advisory Room - Where Consultants and Lawyers Explore What Really Moves Firms Forward
The Law Firm Advisory Room is a podcast created by Consultants2Lawyers (L2C)—a consortium of experienced consultants who work with law firms and law departments across strategy, operations, technology, finance, talent, and succession.
Each episode brings voices from this advisory community together with legal leaders to examine the real challenges facing modern law firms, including AI adoption, billing and pricing pressure, performance metrics, growth, leadership, and transition.
The conversations go beyond surface solutions to explore why smart strategies stall and what actually helps firms move forward—balancing outside-in advisory insight with the inside realities of legal practice that rarely make it into formal plans.
The podcast is hosted by Dave Gold, a former trial lawyer and succession advisor, who helps bridge consultant perspective with lived legal experience—keeping the dialogue grounded, candid, and practical.
