Three ways
to plug us in.

Every law firm has the same handful of operational pressure points — intake, billing, hiring, vendors, tech, knowledge management. The question isn't what needs to be solved. It's how much of it you want to own. We work at three depths.

Tier 01 Projects

Targeted operational projects.

You know exactly what's broken. You need someone senior to come in, build the thing, hand it off clean, and leave. Bounded scope, fixed price or fixed hours, predictable delivery.

Common engagements

  • Standard Operating Procedures (single matter type or full firm)
  • Client intake design and automation
  • Billing workflows, invoicing templates, AR cleanup
  • ClickUp / project management buildout
  • Document automation and template libraries
  • Vendor consolidation and tech stack audit
  • Hiring playbooks, JDs, and interview scorecards
  • Onboarding programs for paralegals and associates

How it works

Tier 02 Fractional

Fractional operations leadership.

For firms growing past the point where the managing attorney can run operations on the side of their desk — but not yet at the size that justifies a full-time COO. We embed as your operations leader at a fraction of the cost.

What we own

  • Weekly operations cadence and team meetings
  • Hiring, onboarding, and performance management
  • Vendor relationships and tech roadmap
  • Financial operations: billing, AR, vendor payments
  • Knowledge management and SOP maintenance
  • Client communication standards and quality control
  • Cross-functional projects and firm-wide initiatives
  • Reporting and operational metrics for partners

How it works

Platforms

Biased toward ClickUp. Fluent in everything else.

I'm biased toward ClickUp — robust enough to run a firm's full operation from one system: cases, projects, SOPs, hiring, partner-level reporting.

That said, the right stack is the one your firm actually uses. Plenty of firms run beautifully on Clio, PracticePanther, MyCase, or Smokeball alone. I work with what's there and recommend changes only when they'd genuinely move the needle.

01 ClickUp

My default. Built to run a firm's full operation from a single system.

02 Smokeball

Case management. Strongest where automated billing and integrated time capture are the bottleneck.

03 MyCase

Case management. Strong client portal and intake automation.

04 Clio

Case management. Mature platform with the broadest ecosystem of integrations.

05 PracticePanther

Case management. Built around workflow automation and matter customization.

How we start

However we end up working together, the first four weeks look the same.

01 / Discover

15-minute discovery call

A short, no-pressure conversation to see if we're the right operator for your firm. You tell us what's going on. We tell you whether we can help. No pitch deck, no follow-up nurturing.

02 / Diagnose

Operations audit

One to two weeks of structured discovery. We map the firm's actual workflows, surface the friction, and pressure-test what you think the problem is.

03 / Plan

Written engagement plan

Specific deliverables, timeline, pricing, and the metrics we'll be accountable to. You either move forward, or you don't.

04 / Build

Execution starts

We start building. You get weekly written updates, monthly working sessions, and a real partner — not a deck and an invoice.

Not sure which tier fits? That's the call.

The discovery call is free, fast, and direct. We'll either tell you what we'd do, or tell you who would do it better.
