Jacob Murad, a practicing lawyer, managing partner, and father of four, shares a lawyer’s perspective on how to build healthier boundaries without compromising professional success. He walks through practical, achievable changes—blocking off personal time like you would court, tracking where your time actually goes, using the 80/20 rule to focus on what matters, and delegating non-legal work where possible. The message is clear: being more selective, more intentional, and more protective of your time leads to better outcomes, both professionally and personally. The focus is on mindset, habits, and the power of taking control of your own schedule.
Jacob Murad is the managing partner and general counsel to BlueStar Equity, a private equity family office in Toronto, as well as president of KPA Lawyers Professional Corporation, a full-service law firm with multiple locations and headquarters in Mississauga, Ont. He has served as general counsel and director for a large number of private companies throughout Canada and was responsible for the negotiation of complex mergers and acquisitions across a variety of industries including the acquisition of several law firms. He is a member of the Law Society of Ontario’s Coach and Mentor Roster and a regular tutor for the Barrister and Solicitor examinations.
