I stay through execution.

Every engagement starts with a proper diagnostic. What I find determines what I build. The goal is always a system that runs after I'm gone — not a deliverable you have to figure out yourself.

Fractional COO

Embedded operations leadership for law firms that need real expertise without a full-time hire. I work inside your numbers, your tech stack, your staffing decisions — not around them.

What I actually look at

Billing data, collections rates, realization rates, WIP, A/R aging, compensation structure, and headcount efficiency. Not a 30-slide summary of your industry — your firm's actual numbers.

The engagement model

Discovery → Diagnostic → Stakeholder interviews → Roadmap → Implementation → Rhythm and accountability. I don't stop at the deck. Most engagements run 6–12 months minimum — real operational change takes time.

Who it's for

Small to mid-sized law firms — typically 5 to 50 attorneys — where the managing partner is doing too much, the systems are person-dependent, and growth is creating more chaos instead of less margin.

Who it's not for

Firms looking for someone to delegate admin work to, owners who want a recommendation without doing the work themselves, or anyone looking for generic advice that applies to every firm equally.

Operations Diagnostic

If you're not ready for a full fractional engagement, the diagnostic is the right starting point. It gives you an accurate picture of what's actually going on — which is usually different from what the owner thinks is going on.

What the diagnostic covers

  • Financials: P&L structure, realization, collection rate, billing velocity
  • KPIs: what you're measuring, what you should be, what the gaps mean
  • Tech stack: what's being used, what's redundant, what's missing
  • Staffing and compensation: capacity, utilization, whether you're paying the right people the right amount
  • Stakeholder interviews: attorneys, admin, and leadership — to understand where the actual friction is

Deliverable: a written analysis with a 30/60/90-day roadmap. Specific to your firm — not a template with your name swapped in.

AI Builds for Law Firms

Not AI strategy decks. Actual builds. I design and deploy targeted automations for specific firm problems — and I'm not going to sell you a platform you don't need.
