#01 Remarkable Regional Business Part 1

This episode explores the growth journey of Coulter Legal, from its beginnings in Geelong to becoming a multi‑office firm across Victoria, while staying deeply connected to the communities it serves. The discussion highlights how intentional hiring for cultural fit and capability underpins team wellbeing and strong client outcomes, and why recruitment is treated as a critical strategic decision. It also unpacks the sustainable scaling of the family and relationship law team, which expanded from four lawyers to around thirty without compromising service quality. Listeners gain insight into the systems that support both people and clients, including smart resourcing, strong support staff, and mentoring structures that pair senior and junior lawyers. The episode concludes with a look at leading culture in a hybrid workplace, and how consistent communication, regular touchpoints, and deliberate connection help maintain a strong, unified culture across multiple offices.
