Stop building your firm alone. Grow with a coach and a community.

Running a small firm shouldn't take heroics and hustle. Coaching gives you a dedicated coach and a 90-day plan, on top of every playbook, Lab and peer group in the Community, so you can build a firm that grows without burning you out.

Coaching FAQ

How is this different from other law firm coaching programs?

No hype and no one-size-fits-all formula. You get a coach, a plan built from your Scorecard results, the full set of Top Lawyers playbooks and a peer group of owners at a similar stage, all focused on solo and small firms.

Who is Coaching for?

Solo lawyers and small firms of up to about 15 people who are serious about building a firm that runs on systems. It is not for anyone looking for shortcuts.

Who are the coaches?

Coaches specialize in small-firm growth stages and know the Top Lawyers system across every topic, from personal branding, LinkedIn and video to podcasting, Reddit, AI visibility and intake.

How much time does it take?

Plan on a monthly coaching session, an optional weekly live session and a few focused hours a month working on your plan. The real work is building systems, and that takes honest effort.

What if I don't want my firm to get bigger?

That is fine. Many members want more profit, less stress or more time, not more staff. Your plan is built around your goals.

Does it work for my practice area?

Yes. Members span family, estate planning, PI, criminal defense, immigration, business, employment and more. The systems apply across practice areas.

How much does Coaching cost?

We share current pricing on your fit call, along with which add-ons (like Done With You or Done For You services) make sense for your firm. Applying costs nothing.

Build a firm that works, without building it alone.

Apply today. If Coaching is a fit, your coach will start with a Scorecard audit and your first 90-day plan.
