In this episode of This Legal Life, host Ben Chiriboga sits down with Owen McGrann — lawyer, founder, writer, and creative legal thinker — to explore how legal practice can be rebuilt from the inside out. Owen shares his deeply personal journey from burnout in Big Law and a life-threatening medical crisis to launching a solo firm driven by flat fees, client alignment, and productized legal services. Together, they unpack the intersection of philosophy, pricing, community, and identity — and why sometimes the most powerful shift in law isn’t external innovation, but internal transformation.
Meet Our Guest:
