He is also the host of the number-one ranked Law podcast on the Planet, the Legally Speaking Podcast. What happens when you combine bold initiative, relentless curiosity, and a passion for building value? You get Robert’s remarkable journey.
In this episode, we trace Robert’s path, starting with his time at the University of Leeds and his early roles at SThree and Bramwith Consulting. These formative experiences laid the foundation for what came next—founding KC Partners, a legal recruitment firm laser-focused on ROI. At KC Partners, Robert sharpened his ability to thrive through uncertainty, mastering the art of asking the right questions to generate insights that drive meaningful action.
But Robert’s ambition didn’t stop there. He wanted more—more impact, more connection, and a broader platform. Enter The Legally Speaking Podcast—now the #1 legal podcast in the world. We dive into his journey building the podcast, touching on everything from business development and networking to the importance of personal branding and storytelling. With standout guests like Jack Newton, Piers Linney, Matt Margolis, and two of my own former guests, Laura Frederick and M.C. Sungalia, Robert’s guest list is as impressive as it gets.
Robert also introduces us to the concept of COI (Cost of Inaction) and explores how the value pyramid can supercharge business development. And if that’s not enough, we discuss The Great Big Legal Offsite, launched this January—an ambitious experiment bringing together legal professionals through innovative events designed to foster community and collaboration.
This conversation is a goldmine for anyone looking to level up in business development, podcasting, and purpose-driven work. Robert’s insights are as practical as they are inspiring, and this episode is packed with actionable takeaways you don’t want to miss.
