Iridian Advance™

Ongoing Operations Guidance for

Small Law Firms

Know what needs attention.
Know what to do next.

Iridian Advance™ gives solo and small law firms an ongoing way to assess their operations, identify what needs attention, and get experienced guidance on what to improve next without the commitment of fractional management.

When You're Practicing Law and Running the Firm

In a small firm, operational responsibility often lands with the owner - whether or not that's where their time is best spent. You may have capable staff and good systems in place, but still find yourself making decisions about workflows, billing, technology, people, vendors, and administrative processes as issues arise.

Iridian Advance™ is designed for firms that aren't ready for someone to take over operations, but want a more structured, informed way to manage them.

You've outgrown some of your processes.

What worked with two people isn't necessarily working with five, eight, or ten.

You're not ready for fractional management.

You want experienced operational guidance while continuing to manage your firm's day-to-day operations.

You're not sure what needs attention first.

There are plenty of things you could improve, but it's difficult to know which ones actually matter.

Operational questions keep landing on your desk.

You can figure them out, but that doesn't mean you should have to reinvent the answer every time.

A More Structured Way to Manage Your Firm's Operations

Know where to focus.

Iridian EdgeScore™ periodically evaluates your firm's operations and helps identify where to focus your attention first.

What Iridian Advance™ Includes

Built Around the Operations That Keep a Law Firm Running

Iridian Advance™ is built around the same seven areas evaluated through Iridian EdgeScore™:

Leadership & Administrative Structure

Workflows

Billing & Collections

Technology & Systems

HR Operations

Vendors

Management Visibility

When something isn't working, the goal isn't to overhaul everything. It's to identify the operational gap that's creating friction and address the right problem first.

Guidance at the Level Your Firm Needs

Iridian Advance™ is designed for firms that want ongoing operational guidance while continuing to manage their own day-to-day operations.

If you have one specific operational issue you want help addressing but don't need ongoing support, Iridian Focus™ provides targeted guidance and a practical action plan for that defined challenge.

If your firm needs someone to actively oversee workflows, staff, systems, vendors, or operational initiatives, Fractional Firm Administration may be the better fit.
