How To Continuously Learn as a Lawyer in a Changing Industry feat. Jon Groth

You Are A Lawyer: Take Risks and Change Careers in Law

Jon Groth, a personal injury attorney and managing partner of Groth Law Firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, shares his journey from law school to running a successful practice with a diverse range of cases, including car accidents and vaccine injuries. In this episode, Jon emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and effective communication in the legal profession, while also discussing the unique challenges and rewards of managing a law firm. He highlights the value of connecting with clients from all walks of life and the significance of adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of law and technology.

Lawyer Side Hustles

As Jon Groth discussed in his podcast episode, the legal profession offers unique opportunities for attorneys to leverage their skills beyond traditional practice. For instance, Groth mentioned his experience with marketing himself while he was an associate. This proactive approach not only helped him generate revenue for the firm but also laid the groundwork for his eventual transition to running his own personal injury law firm.

“I wanted to show them, hey, I can do this and I'm bringing in my own cases,” shares Jon Groth in Episode 166 of You Are a Lawyer.

In addition to traditional legal practice, lawyers can engage in various side ventures, such as consulting, teaching, or even creating content through podcasts and social media. Groth's own podcast, Groth Gets It, exemplifies how attorneys can share their knowledge and connect with a broader audience while simultaneously enhancing their personal brand. By embracing these side hustles, lawyers can not only increase their income but also foster a culture of continuous learning and professional development, which Groth emphasizes as essential in the legal field.
