For solo and small firm lawyers
You didn't train as a lawyer to also run a business. Paula fixes that part, without you hiring anyone new. More profit. More hours back in your day.
Steve, on working with Paula
No pitch. Just a chat.
You've got a team, but you don't really trust them with the big stuff, so it comes back to your desk anyway. You're in the office at 6:30am. You're answering emails at midnight. You wake up at 3am thinking about a file.
You know you should be handing more of this off. You just haven't worked out how, or which parts, or to who.
And underneath all of it, there's a nagging feeling: am I even doing this right? Nobody teaches you how to run the business side of a law firm. Law school teaches you to be a lawyer, not a leader.
On average, law firms write off around 40% of their billable hours. Not because the work wasn't done. Because nobody was tracking what it should have taken, so nobody could charge for what it actually took.
Stay stuck in this pattern and here's what it costs you: evenings, weekends, your kids' school run, and a business that can only grow if you personally work more hours. That's not a business. That's a very demanding job.
Stephen didn't add clients by working longer hours. He freed up the hours he already had. "My revenue has increased substantially," he says, and he puts it down to one thing: finally being held accountable, every single week.
Your calendar runs the day, not your inbox. Your team knows exactly what's expected of them, so you stop reworking their work. The numbers are in front of you, so decisions get made on facts, not gut feel and worry.
You take on more clients without taking on more hours. You're home for dinner. And the imposter feeling that's been sitting in the back of your mind goes quiet, because you can finally see, in black and white, that the business is actually working.
That's exactly what Stephen thought. He assumed a consultant would be priced for a big firm, not a solo practice. There's no long-term contract. He says it plainly: she's more than paid for herself, and his revenue proves it.
It's one call a week, built around your practice, not the other way round. Everything else runs by WhatsApp, on your schedule. Clients describe getting replies within the hour, even on a Sunday.
Paula doesn't hand you a template and walk away. She's run this inside real law firms, watching what actually breaks when a business grows fast. Consultants know the answer. Paula makes sure it actually gets put into practice in your firm.
The longer you wait, the more income and family time slip away.
