awareness
the more you know, the better you can make decisions. we make you aware of all the options and consequences in the legal marketplace.
aptitude
people are creatures of habit conditioned by environment. we eliminate weaknesses and create purposeful and effective habits.

processes
survival kits = peace of mind
give someone a fish, they eat for a day. teach someone how to fish, they can eat for the rest of their lives. every one of our turn-key survival kits are individually tailored to meet a firm's size and practice area needs. we streamline your workflows, clean up your procedures, and help you keep talented people.
management is mostly about processes. we simplify them into an accessible and easy to understand operations survival kittm. a personalized assessment will outline tasks, deadlines and procedures necessary to keep your practice running smoothly even when you’re not there.
task dissection
communicating who does what and when is one of the easiest and most important first steps in improving your firm. not sharing this information with staff and attorneys is a critical mistake. job descriptions and responsibilities that are clearly marked lead to more efficient roles in your firm and less repetition.
make sure you’re on the same page with those in your corner by reaching a consensus on shared goals, identifying qualitative and quantitative benchmarks, and deciding how to allocate the firm’s resources effectively. the 3a. law managementtm task dissection captures everything that needs to happen over the course of a year, organized by department, employee, and priority.
responsibilities and accountability
strategy + analytics = growth
we place significant focus on decreasing miscellaneous expenses so you can make better choices for you, your staff and clients. you must have a plan based in reality. by tracking your analytics through reports, you have a better grasp on reality and the road ahead. we're experts at strategy and analytics, and can help you become the same.
leadership is mostly about behavior. we teach you which reports to monitor and how to measure the success of your firm. your 3a. law managementtm action plan will include timetables for performance so you will know when it’s time to grow or when it’s time to make adjustments.
whether it’s your social media footprint, web presence, or litigation skills, clients have a choice.
these areas ensure your firm is a viable option.
we analyze your marketing procedures and advise what processes to put in place so your firm doesn’t miss an opportunity.
we create client relationship management and referral source ROI analytics that ensures you are efficient with your marketing time and dollars.
web presence
own your identity. your firm and its reputation is out on the internet. it is up to you to get control of it and guarantee it reflects your brand. can your clients find you on the internet? if they find you, will what they see make them want to be your client? we can quarterback your marketing team or help you design your own presence.
referrals
leverage your resources. referrals from lawyers, trusted advisors and former clients are the best source of future clients. we identify your best income sources by your practice area and create an incoming and outgoing referral process. we introduce you to our network of lawyers across the country in every practice area so that you are getting the clients you want.
analytics
they say knowledge is power. you will only know what is working and what is not if you follow the analytics. your practice will inevitably ebb and flow, but the goal is to minimize the monthly shifts and control how it impacts your firm. predicting a slow month affords you to strategize on goals, save for months ahead or take a vacation. knowing when the busy cycle is for your firm helps you brace for it, prepare the attorneys and staff and secure a consistent, positive client experience and outcome.
we are your resource. we are your law firm gurus. we are your sounding board. lean on us.
whether it’s hourly or project based, we only charge you when we absolutely have to. we don’t bill for phone calls or emails so reach out any time if you need our advice.
we’re neurotically responsive to lawyers in need.
