Legal Articles

GET HELP if you wonder how the operations of your firm measure up with others, or you wrestle with such issues as equitably dividing the pie, enhancing firm management, operations, profitability and efficiency, or you are considering a merger with another firm. My clients have found it invaluable to have a seasoned, objective person with law firm operations know-how, like me, meet with them either in the setting of their offices, or more informally by means of a retreat outside the office, to help assess where they are now and to plan for the future.

I have now consulted with or conducted strategic planning retreats for more than 250 firms nationwide. In the process, I have gained meaningful and invaluable insights. As an accomplished, impartial outsider, I could help you and your firm deal with issues such as:

Attorney Compensation
Management and Governance
Budgeting, Financial Management and Profitability
Strategic Planning
Merger Evaluation/Representation
Redefining the Role of Senior Lawyers
Client Development Strategies
Interpersonal Conflicts
