The Set-Up: Building a Law Firm That Actually Works

What if the problem isn’t you—it’s the system you’re running?
For years, Simone Fulmer Gaus believed she was falling short. In reality, she was operating inside the same broken model most law firms still rely on. Instead of pushing harder, she rebuilt the entire structure.
In this keynote, Simone introduces The Set-Up™, her five-pillar framework for creating a law firm where the structure carries the weight—not the people. She shares the turning points, hard lessons, and practical insights that can help any attorney lead a healthier, more effective, and more sustainable practice.

Ideal Audiences:

  • Law firm owners and managing partners
  • State and local bar associations
  • Trial lawyer and personal injury conferences
  • Women in law organizations
  • Law school practice management courses
  • Small and mid-size firm retreats
  • Legal leadership programs

Key Takeaways:

  • The traditional law firm model is what’s burning you out—not you and not your team.
  • You’re not facing a hundred different problems; you’re facing the same five types of problems repeating themselves.
  • When you build a solid operational foundation, you stop holding everything together—the structure finally does the heavy lifting.
