Leadership & Management Coaching For Solo Lawyers
Need Help Managing Your Small Law Firm?
Leading and managing people is often seen as an innate skill, something you’re either born with or you aren’t.
But in my experience, after decades of managing and leading people ranging from 1 to 100 employees, as well as teaching management at the university level, I’ve found these skills are anything but innate.
In my opinion you grow into being a leader and manager.
They’re learnt, tested, tried and refined over many years, actionable, honed through trial and error, the occasional failure, success and self-reflection - indeed a lot of legal leadership coaching starts with you not your people.
On top of that, what works with one group of people may not necessarily in another.
The Benefits Of Good Management For Small Law Firms
One thing is certain however - it is ultimately all about the people and the culture - and if you do these right - your job will be easier, your clients will be happier and your bottom line will reflect this all.
It’s taken me years to refine this management and leadership style, having started managing people at a young age.
I believe that law firm management coaching is an effective small law firm management strategy to accelerate the above.
We can also provide consulting for small law firms operated by solo practitioners on a range of other related issues.

Another Success Story
“Thanks to Paul for casting a fresh pair of eyes over the workings of our legal practice. It was great to sit down and bounce issues, problems and ideas with someone who has done it all before. Paul’s knowledge and experience made a measurable difference. It was invigorating to rethink the business plan after speaking with Paul. I now feel more confident in my own decision making and about where our law firm is heading. Paul is down to earth, honest and his straight talking nature was appreciated. I look forward to working with him again.”
