What comes off your desk

The business side, handled

01

Marketing

Get found by the right clients, respond quickly and know what is producing business.

02

Accounting & Finance

Bill, collect, reconcile and know exactly where the firm’s money stands.

03

Practice Operations

Keep matters, communications, documents and follow-up moving without you managing every step.

04

IT & Technology

05

Performance & Insights

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.

You keep the law.

How it starts

About two hours of your time. Then we run it

1

Initial fit call

We learn how the practice operates, review the economics and determine whether Kounsel makes sense for you. No pitch deck.

2

About two hours with you

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.

3

Go live

We train you and anyone who works with you, then begin taking over the parts of the business you have handed us.

4

First 30 days

We learn how the practice actually runs, identify where it can earn more or take less of your time, and start improving it.
