our services
Firm Management & Operations
J&A handles the business of running small and mid-size firms. If the issue is keeping you from billing clients and rainmaking, then it belongs on our desk – not yours. We find the best solution for each firm, which may mean bringing in the right vendor, training office staff, or handling the process ourselves. We work closely with your firm's management and administrative staff at every level to implement solutions that work.
Succession Planning & Exit Strategies
Managing for the inevitable exit of owners or key partners is an essential function of succession planning. We work with owners and equity partners to develop plans and structure exit strategies that make sense for each firm's unique position.
Compensation Structures
J&A has developed a process that helps partners determine a compensation structure that is equitable and specific to their firm's requirements. Our work with multiple law and other professional service firms brings meaningful insights and practical solutions to compensation issues among partners.
Mergers & Growth Strategies
J&A works with firms that want to pursue aggressive growth, are in the process of determining if growth is desired, and with those that would like to maintain their current size and status. And, for those partners who are unsure of where they want their firm to be, we help them reach a decision that meets their personal and professional goals.
Delegation Training
We train attorneys and staff in effective delegation techniques that help increase productivity, strengthen management skills, improve morale, build effective teamwork, and decrease costly mistakes.
