    112. The Problem with Billable Hour Targets & What to Measure Instead with Radhika Dutt
    Mar 24 2026

    What happens when the metrics we rely on to measure success start pulling us away from the outcomes we actually care about? From internal performance to billable hour targets, many of the systems we use were designed to create clarity, but over time, they can distort behavior in ways that are hard to see until the impact is already felt.

    In this episode, I sit down with author Radhika Dutt to explore how this dynamic shows up not just in legal work, but across industries, and why optimizing for the wrong metrics can quietly undermine client relationships, team wellbeing, and long-term growth.

    Mar 17 2026

    After ten episodes on Agile lawyering tools and practices, it is worth stepping back to ask a bigger question. What does it really mean to be an Agile Attorney?

    In this episode, I bring the series together by revisiting those core patterns and the first principles behind Agile thinking. My goal is to leave you with a clearer sense of how these ideas can help you build a practice that is more resilient, more intentional, and better able to serve the people who rely on it.

    110. Why Every Legal Matter Needs a Strategy Plan [Agile Lawyering Part 10]
    Mar 10 2026

    Legal work is complex and high-stakes, yet many law firms still rely on outdated project management approaches. In this episode, I introduce the concept of a matter strategy plan, a flexible, evolving document that keeps legal teams aligned and informed. I discuss how this Agile approach fosters collaboration, smarter decision-making, and helps legal teams stay adaptable, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both the team and the client.
