Questions We Frequently Answer

What is law firm consulting?
Law firm consulting focuses on helping attorneys and firm leaders improve operations, workflows, and business strategy so their practice runs efficiently and can scale sustainably. The goal is to build strong systems behind the practice, allowing attorneys to focus on delivering exceptional legal work.

Do you receive referral fees from vendors? 

In some cases, yes. When we introduce a trusted third-party partner, it’s because we believe they are well-suited to your specific needs. Any referral relationships are fully transparent and never influence our recommendations.

Does that affect what you recommend? 

No. Our consulting fees cover assessment, strategy, and guidance—not vendor placement. Our responsibility is to help you determine what you need first. How and with whom that work is executed is always your choice. 

Can we use our own vendors? 

Absolutely. Many clients choose to implement recommendations using existing or preferred vendors. We’re happy to collaborate where appropriate to ensure alignment and continuity.
