How it works
Kounsel brings the business side of your practice into one system and takes responsibility for running it. Technology handles the repeatable work. Specialists handle the work that requires expertise. You keep practicing law and serving clients.
What comes off your desk
Get found by the right clients, respond quickly and know what is producing business.
Bill, collect, reconcile and know exactly where the firm’s money stands.
Keep matters, communications, documents and follow-up moving without you managing every step.
Keep your technology working, secure and out of your way.
Know how the practice is performing, where time or money is leaking and what to do about it.
One platform connects the work. Technology handles what it can. Experienced people step in where expertise matters. You have one accountable team instead of a collection of tools and vendors to manage.

How it starts
We learn how the practice operates, review the economics and determine whether Kounsel makes sense for you. No pitch deck.
We gather what we need, connect the systems that stay where they are and move what needs to move. That is your part of setup.
We train you and anyone who works with you, then begin taking over the parts of the business you have handed us.
We learn how the practice actually runs, identify where it can earn more or take less of your time, and start improving it.
