There are times when you can be certain it’s time to hire a law firm consultant like LT Global. Make sure you know when your law firm will benefit from a law firm consultant and make sure that when you do reach out, you hire an experienced law firm consultant with a proven track record of helping law firms achieve growth and success.
You absolutely need outside help from a skilled law firm consultant in the following situations:
- You face challenges with firm culture such as retaining employees or maintaining a positive atmosphere.
- Internal processes and procedures feel overwhelming.
- Technology that is supposed to make your job easier is inefficient and hard to learn.
- Your online marketing isn’t getting a return on investment.
- You want to expand your firm and bring on a new partner or are already experiencing growing pains.
- You are about to open your law firm.
Improving the Culture of Your Law Firm
Improving the culture and overall atmosphere of your law firm is not as simple as offering raises to employees. On a scale of 0-100, even a remarkable 10 percent pay raise will only result in a one-point improvement of employee satisfaction, according to a Glassdoor survey. Employees want a work culture that is built around values that matter to them and a more satisfying work-life balance. While you are hard at work representing the legal interests of your valued clients, you may not have the time nor the patience to wonder about the best ways to improve the culture at your law firm.
A law firm consultant can analyze the dynamics of your workplace for you and give you strategic advice that you can easily implement. Like it or not, the culture at your law firm not only affects the mood of your employees, but it also affects their productivity. This ultimately will affect your law firm’s growth.
Improving Processes and Procedures
Law firm consultants know that making changes to the processes and procedures of your law firm (including checking for conflicts of interests, scheduling, file management, billing, and client intake) can feel overwhelming. Your specialty is law, but the specialty of a law firm consultant is helping you manage your law firm.
A law firm consultant will look at your current procedures and processes and make suggestions for improvement. At LT Global, we often suggest overhauling your processes and procedures so that they are streamlined and efficient in a way you have only ever dreamed of.
Streamlining Technology
One single piece of technology, such as your case management software or your accounting software, can become a headache if it isn’t efficient. Law firm consultants typically suggest streamlining your technology to reduce repetitive tasks.
For example, have you ever wished that you didn’t have to enter client data repetitively and do you ever worry that your conflict-of-interest checker could fail?
At LT Global, we can suggest streamlined technology that is easy to learn, easy to use, easy to implement, and affordable. We can show you how a one-stop hub for your law firm will save you countless hours, freeing up your time for billable hours – or even improving your own work-life balance.
Marketing Strategy
As law firm consultants, we understand that your expertise lies in law—not marketing. If your current strategy isn’t delivering a solid ROI, it’s time to reassess. A clear and compelling brand identity is essential, but your marketing efforts need to do more than just look good—they should actively bring in leads.
An effective strategy works for you, meaning you spend less time chasing prospects and more time focusing on your clients. The reality is, you don’t know what you don’t know, and that’s where we come in. With tailored strategies designed specifically for law firms, we help ensure your marketing drives real results, so your firm can thrive.
A law firm consultant can even suggest reliable marketers through outsourcing or tapping into the remote worker pool. At LT Global, we have access to a huge skilled workforce made up of pre-vetted, pre trained, reliable workers including experienced law firm marketers.
Expanding Your Firm
If you feel like it’s time to expand, make sure to hire a law firm consultant who can give you helpful advice on what to expect from your expansion, how to successfully integrate new partners, how to reduce risks, and how to eliminate growing pains. Expansion is rewarding, but it can also be a headache if it’s not done right. A law firm consultant can help make sure that any risks from expansion are mitigated so that you only experience the benefits of growth.
If you’ve already expanded your law firm, a law firm consultant can also help you address any growing pains you might be experiencing.
Launching Your Firm
If you are about to open your own law firm, you should meet with a law firm consultant. We know that you have the legal know-how, but law firm consultants have the experience and knowledge gained from having helped countless lawyers launch their firms successfully. You only get one grand opening, so make sure you’re equipped with the streamlined technology needed for success, a competent team (even if your team is fully remote), and a strong brand image with a powerful marketing strategy.
An experienced law firm consultant like LT Global will help you optimize your staff, build upon your core values, plan out effective operating procedures, and even coach you on how to build a rewarding company culture and how to be an effective leader.
