What if resilience in legal practices had less to do with software features and more to do with people, purpose, and small wins that stick? Our host, Emma Waddingham, sat down with Amy Bruce- host of the Empowering Law Firm Leaders podcast and Head of Marketing at Osprey Approach —to unpack what SME firms actually do to grow stronger and smarter without burning out their teams or budgets.
Amy draws on insights from the many podcast conversations she's had with operational leaders, consultants, and managing partners. We explore value-based pricing as a repeatable playbook for any change project, the quiet power of curiosity in legal sales, and why pioneer groups beat top‑down mandates when you need adoption.

We talk culture that supports failing fast, not failing big—plus the practicalities of building momentum when time and resource feel tight. From thanking referrers to tracking introductions, from aligning partners around purpose and cashflow to making usability and training non‑negotiable, the through-line is clear: resilience comes from human systems that make smart use of technology.
We also look ahead. Fractional expertise is rising as firms bring in seasoned project managers and compliance leads for critical moments. Osprey’s renewed focus on intuitive UX and unlimited training shows why usability outruns novelty. And yes, AI is on the table—but with a grounded approach: clean your data, define narrow use cases, set boundaries, and pilot where quality can be measured. Expect actionable takeaways, candid stories, and a simple challenge: pick one pain point, one pioneer group, and one outcome to prove progress this month.
If this conversation helps you think differently about growth and change, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review. It helps more legal leaders find practical strategies to build resilient, future‑focused firms.
