The legal profession was built on in-person offices, paper files, and face-to-face meetings. But the last few years have proven that great lawyering doesn’t require four walls—and for leaders like JoAnn Hathaway, going remote isn’t just a necessity, it’s an opportunity.

After 20 years shaping the profession as Executive Director of the State Bar of Michigan, JoAnn has a front-row seat to how remote work is transforming law firm culture, client service, and leadership.

In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, Ruby Powers and JoAnn dive into how firms can make the transition to remote successfully—from choosing the right technology and communication systems to maintaining connection, accountability, and a thriving firm culture.

JoAnn shares her vision for a future where going remote can mean greater flexibility, better client outcomes, and stronger leadership.
