Services for Law Firms
John Allison provides strategic planning and law practice consulting services to law firms of all sizes, from sole practitioners to large firms with multiple offices. He also provides training programs and coaching for legal professionals in the firm.
Strategic Planning
John’s strategic planning services are designed to help the law firm build and maintain a practice that is profitable and sustainable.
Consultation on Difficult Issues
John helps firms address difficult issues that can arise in the private practice of law. These issues include:
- Succession planning
- Maintaining a client relationship or practice area when a lawyer leaves the firm or becomes disabled
- Helping a lawyer who is not meeting expectations improve his or her skills in order to remain with the firm
- Deciding when it is necessary to ask a lawyer to leave the firm
- Dealing with the loss of a major client
Serving as a “Senior Colleague”
For sole practitioners and small firms, John can serve as the “senior colleague” to brainstorm ideas and consult on issues that arise in the practice. Because John does not practice law in your community in competition with you, sensitive issues can be discussed candidly with him.
Training and Coaching
John offers training programs for law firms, and individual and group coaching for lawyers and other legal professionals in the firm, in the following areas:
- Enhancing relationships with clients and colleagues
- Leadership development
- Improving verbal and written communication skills
- Mastering the art of negotiation
- Making the most of the mediation opportunity
- Developing effective litigation themes and preparing a civil case
- Helping clients manage a crisis
Services are designed to meet specific interests and needs. Hourly rate, daily rate and fixed fee arrangements are available. There is no charge for travel time to law firms located within the continental United States.
