Why this book
Good legal work alone does not build a practice. Lawyers are trained to solve problems, not to grow a business, yet growth is exactly what partnership asks of them. This book closes that gap with a practical framework covering pricing, client development, peer referral networks, go to market thinking and emotional intelligence, so that revenue grows with intention rather than habit.
Written with the profession, not just about it
Alongside the author, twenty four industry experts contribute their perspective, from business development leaders and pricing specialists to managing partners and clients. The result is a book grounded in what actually works inside firms today.
Who it is for
Lawyers who want to build a practice of their own, aspiring partners preparing for the commercial side of the role, and business services teams who support growth every day.
From page to practice
The ideas in the book come to life in The Law Firm Growth Game, our business of law simulation where teams run their own firm and see the consequences of their commercial decisions play out. Reading the book explains the model. Playing the game lets you feel it.
