The 90-Day Firm Transformation Sprint
No 12-month theory. We diagnose, install, and coach — with weekly accountability.

02
Week 3-6: Install Core Systems
Pricing reset, intake scripts + automation, dashboard, meeting rhythms, role scorecards. Quick wins fund the rest.
03
Week 7-10: Team & Scale
Hiring A-players, training sprints, referral engine, review flywheel, matter automation. Partners step out of bottlenecks.
04
Week 11-12: Lock & Grow
90-day roadmap, compensation tune-up, succession plan. Graduate to quarterly advisory or run solo.

Is this for solo / small firms or only big firms?
Both. 60% of our clients are 1-15 lawyers. Systems scale down to solo (lightweight SOPs + automation) and up to 100+ (EOS, department scorecards, COO coaching).
Will marketing advice violate bar rules?
No. Every playbook is mapped to ABA Model Rules 7.1-7.3 and state variants. We review testimonials, claims, and referral fees for compliance before launch.
What tech do you implement?
Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Filevine, Lawmatics, HubSpot, Smith.ai, plus document automation and AI drafting with human-review guardrails. We clean up what you have first.
How much time does it take from partners?
2 hours/week in the sprint. We do the heavy lifting — audits, SOP writing, CRM builds — you approve and coach. Most partners save 8-12 hrs/week after month 2.
What does it cost?
Audit starts free. Sprints are fixed-fee by firm size, typically ROI-positive in 60-90 days via intake + pricing wins. Quarterly advisory after that, no long lock-in.
