036: Randy Gaw on case selection, niching, and storytelling for law firm founders
Randy Gaw is the co-founder of Gaw Poe LLP. Randy left biglaw for a more direct path to first-chair trial work and strategic autonomy. At his boutique, Randy focuses on complex business litigation and high-value contingency work. We discuss:
- why case selection is about narrative, not just legal theory
- how poker and parenting made him a better litigator
- what he learned from jury consultants that changed how he prepares for trial
