Summary
Details

Law school taught you the law, not business. Yet here you are managing employees, chasing collections, worrying about partnership agreements, and lying awake wondering if you're making the right decisions for your firm. You're not alone. Every law firm owner faces these same challenges that no one prepared you for. In this guide, you'll learn how to:

Decide if and how to leave your current firm (without burning bridges or facing lawsuits) Select solo practice or partnership (and structure either option for long-term success) Build client acquisition systems so you grow without peaks and valleys Hire the right people and shape a firm culture that retains top talent Protect your practice from external threats (from malpractice claims to cyber attacks) Plan your succession and exit strategy before it's too late

Running a successful law firm requires more than practicing law: You must master the business of law. This book lays out the life cycle that law school never did. Based on decades of experience representing hundreds of law firms at every stage of growth, it reveals the patterns, pitfalls, and proven strategies that separate thriving practices from those that struggle or fail.

Your firm has a life cycle. This book shows you how to thrive in every stage.
