How To Position A Legal Practice And Build A Niche
A practical guide and step-by-step checklist to help lawyers position their practice, build a niche and begin building a practice known for something specific.
Most lawyers are not taught how to run a legal practice, let alone how to position one properly or build a niche.
Start with the guide. Use the checklist. Begin building a practice that is known for something specific.
What Are You Known For As A Lawyer?
I am forever asking the lawyers I advise:
“What are you known for as a lawyer?”
It often takes them aback, but it is always my segue into a discussion about positioning their practice and niching into an area they are genuinely passionate about.
Why Being Known For Something Specific Matters
I can normally convince them fairly quickly why I am right, which I am, of course, about the value of being known for something specific.
That matters even more now, as AI continues to take over more of the work lawyers have traditionally done.
I Understand, But I Do Not Know Where to Start
This is usually the point where they say:
“Paul, I understand I need to do this but I do not know what to do or where to start.”
I get it.
Fair call.
Most lawyers are not taught how to run a legal practice, let alone how to position one properly or build a niche.
Two Practical Resources Specifically For Lawyers
So we created two practical resources specifically for lawyers.
A Guide To Niching
The first is a guide that explains the concept of niching, why it matters and how to think about it in the context of your own practice.
A Step-by-Step Checklist
The second is a separate, step-by-step checklist to help you work through the process and actually get started.
Both have been priced affordably.

We work directly with solicitors, barristers, and consultant lawyers on the decisions that shape an independent practice - set up, structure, positioning, pricing, systems, capacity, financial control, AI use, and strategic direction.
This is practical, experience-based advisory work for lawyers who want a stronger, better-run practice and clearer judgment about what needs to change next.
You can work with us through a Strategy Session or a Solo Law Firm Tune-Up.
We also offer practical tools, guides and webinars for lawyers who want to get on top of these issues properly.
