Red Shoes are Better than Bacon occasionally engages in productive activity, and we’re proud to share with you our latest achievement. You don’t have to be a lawyer to love Effectively Staffing Your Law Firm, 2nd Edition.

The average solo or small firm lawyer may spend more waking hours each day with staff than with a spouse or significant other. And in some cases, even years longer. They will devote all kinds of time and money searching for that significant other, courting the person, learning how to live with that person, being trained by that person—but when it comes to staff, an “Oh, that one will do” more frequently than not seems to be the way it is all approached.
