The first and most important differentiation is the level of very positive results we have helped our clients achieve. Our law firm references speak directly to our effectiveness as consultants and those results. Since our founding, we have not lost a single law firm consulting assignment to another consulting firm, if the potential client has contacted our references.
Our consultants, while highly knowledgeable regarding law firm management, were management consultants first, who later developed expertise in the law firm environment. Thus, we are skilled at managing the consulting process and in producing a first-rate management consulting “product.” We are not recycled practicing attorneys or law firm executives.
Our consultants do not focus exclusively on law firms. We offer a breadth of business experience that is proving increasingly valuable as law firms recognize that they must manage themselves more and more like commercial organizations.
We scrupulously avoid law firm “dogma.” We know from our experience that there is not one best way to manage a law firm and that the uniqueness of each firm dictates the resolution to vexing management issues, not what is generally done by others. A good example of this is in the area of mergers – we have counseled some of our clients to seriously consider strategic mergers and/or combinations, while for others, we have recommended that they not merge and remain independent.
