Ongoing operational leadership without the full-time hire.

Some firms don't need a full-time administrator, but they do need experienced, reliable oversight of the business side of the practice. Fractional Firm Administration provides that through a monthly retainer: operational guidance, billing oversight, staff and workflow coordination, and regular managing attorney check-ins, scoped to what your firm actually needs.

Firms navigating growth or significant operational change may benefit from the Fractional Operations Director engagement, which adds strategic leadership to the day-to-day work.

Operational management plus a seat at the table.

The Fractional Operations Director engagement is designed for firms that need more than day-to-day support. In addition to managing the operational backbone of the practice, the Operations Director participates in firm-level decisions — adding attorneys, expanding practice areas, restructuring workflows, planning for growth — bringing an experienced operational perspective to every significant choice the firm is weighing.

This is the right engagement for a firm that is actively building, not just maintaining.

Improve cash flow without increasing workload.

For most firms, revenue problems start long before collections. Delayed invoicing, inconsistent time capture, and unclear follow-up procedures create avoidable leakage that compounds over time. This engagement strengthens the full billing and collections cycle, from time entry through AR follow-up, with systems that are practical for a small firm to maintain and sustainable enough to actually stick.

Investment: $1,500–$2,500

Build the foundation before you need it.

Most small firms operate for years without documented onboarding procedures, written policies, or consistent HR processes, until a staffing issue forces the problem into the open. This engagement establishes the HR infrastructure that should already be in place: onboarding, handbook and policy development, documentation procedures, payroll and benefits coordination, and basic compliance workflows.

Good HR infrastructure protects the firm, reduces the time attorneys spend managing preventable issues, and creates a more stable experience for the people working in the practice.

Investment: $2,000–$2,500

The right systems are only useful if the firm actually uses them.

Technology should support how your firm operates, not add another layer of complexity to manage. This engagement focuses on selecting, implementing, and optimizing the operational systems that support daily practice: practice management, document management, workflow setup, and AI integration where it's practical and worth the firm's time.

The focus is always usability. Systems that reduce administrative friction, improve consistency, and are realistic for a small firm to maintain long-term.

Investment: $1,500–$5,000, depending on scope

For firms that need experienced operational input outside a formal engagement.

Sometimes the need is specific: a vendor evaluation, a workflow question, a staffing decision, an implementation you want a second opinion on before moving forward. Advisory support provides senior operational guidance on a flexible basis, without the structure of a project or retainer.

Best suited for existing clients or firms with a clearly defined issue that doesn't require a full engagement.
