To deliver on strategic goals and drive profitable firm growth, it takes skillful, coordinated, and collective firm-wide effort — as well as successful oversight of the daily activities of partners, professionals, and business operations. We partner with senior firm leaders like you to tackle the challenges of managing multiple internal and external stakeholders — each with their own priorities — to drive continued success for your firm and clients.
Addressing your top challenges
Strategy execution is often impeded by the absence of a formal operating plan to hold individuals accountable and drive the effective coordination of teams and programs across the business.
Existing business models and supporting technologies don’t deliver the data-driven insights you need to deliver key cross-functional business demands, leading to:
- Slow recognition of changing client needs that hinders your ability to execute your lateral hire strategy in the biggest areas of opportunity
- Poor visibility of experience, skills, and expertise across the fee-earning community that causes talent-retention challenges and a mismatch of legal and business acumen to your firm strategy
- Fragmented client data that leads to fragmented account planning, limited strategic engagement, and the pursuit of tactical opportunities, resulting in lost revenue opportunities
Clients are continuing to globalize and are imposing more sophisticated technological, regulatory, economic, and environmental demands that require a truly connected firm to solve — one whose professionals are not only experts in their particular domain, but who collaborate with others throughout the firm, and often around the world, to solve multifaceted problems.
Business services functions aren’t aligned to best enable the broader business strategy, while partners, lawyers, and fee earners all have different priorities.

We conduct cross-team assessments across processes, policies, technology, and data to identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities to apply best practices to unlock hidden value and drive enhanced effectiveness.
Business Services Operating Model Assessment

Business services has a bigger role to play in strategy execution by transforming the way partners, lawyers, and fee earners engage and interact with clients.
