2151 - Achieving Financial Freedom with Tips from The Wealthy Woman Lawyer Davina Frederick
Empowering Women Lawyers to Scale with Confidence – Featuring Davina Frederick
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Davina Frederick, founder and CEO of Wealthy Woman Lawyer® and host of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer podcast. Davina shares her expert insights into the unique challenges women law firm owners face—and how she helps them scale their practices with strategy, systems, and confidence.
If you’re a woman attorney feeling stuck at a revenue plateau, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways to help you break through and build a thriving, wealth-generating law firm.
Why Solo Success Isn’t Enough
Davina Frederick knows firsthand that being a great lawyer doesn’t automatically make you a great business owner. As a Florida-licensed attorney and seasoned business coach, she helps women law firm owners navigate the tricky leap from solo practitioner to empowered CEO.
Many of her clients are caught in a cycle—working long hours and still earning between $50,000 and $100,000 annually. Why? Because law schools train lawyers to litigate, not to lead a business. Davina fills that critical gap by providing the entrepreneurial training and mindset shifts needed to scale.
Her mission is simple: help women law firm owners reach—and surpass—the 7-figure mark while creating sustainable, fulfilling businesses that don't lead to burnout.
Three Pillars of Law Firm Growth: Delegate, Hire, Lead
To scale a law firm successfully, Davina highlights three non-negotiables: delegation, hiring, and leadership.
Delegation – Many high-achieving women struggle with relinquishing control. Davina teaches her clients how to identify non-essential tasks and build trust in their teams to free up time and mental bandwidth.
Hiring – Fear of financial risk often keeps solo attorneys from expanding their teams. Davina challenges that mindset, showing how hiring other lawyers increases revenue potential and client service capacity.
Leadership – Running a law firm takes more than legal savvy. Davina helps women embrace their roles as leaders—creating healthy cultures, setting clear expectations, and leading with empathy and confidence.
Davina offers both group and private coaching programs through Wealthy Woman Lawyer®, guiding clients through each stage of law firm growth. Whether someone is looking to establish foundational systems or scale past a plateau, her structured support helps women become the CEOs their firms need.
