Jan 19, 2026 | Podcasts

In this episode, we talk with Lyle Washowich, whose journey at Burns White exemplifies what it means to build something lasting. Joining the firm without a client base, he developed a litigation group from the ground up. Through focus, persistence, and a commitment to collaboration, Lyle transformed that challenge into a thriving practice area that now supports a large team of attorneys and serves clients across multiple industries. Today, as the firm’s Chief Operating Officer, Western Region, and a member of its Executive Committee, he reflects on the lessons learned along the way, discussing how taking calculated risks leads to cultivating leadership and empowering others to grow. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about innovation, teamwork, and the power of starting with a clear vision.
