Mutual Fit Check

What we actually do

We take the firm off your desk

Where the firm stops

Every matter in your firm has a moment where it sits still, waiting on you. You have never seen those moments written down in one place. I map them. It is usually worse than you think.

Off your desk

You are doing twelve dollar an hour work at four hundred dollar an hour rates. Scheduling, chasing signatures, opening matters. We name every role you are quietly filling and start firing you from the bottom up.

Intake without you

The part of intake that legally requires a lawyer is far smaller than you have been treating it. Screening, conflicts, document collection, engagement letters. Documented and handed off, until the only thing left on your desk is the decision.

A hire worth paying

Most firms hire a warm body and hope it works out. The role defined, the work written down, the process built before day one. Otherwise you are paying someone forty grand to interrupt you.

Revenue you can plan

Most law firm advice assumes flat fees and a clean close rate. If you work contingency, or a mix, that math is fiction and nobody adjusts it for you. We build the version that fits how you actually get paid.

A week away

The real test is not whether the work gets done. It is whether anything moves while you are gone. Most owners have never taken a full week without their phone. We build toward the version of the firm where you can.

Mutual Fit Check

A short introductory call, for us to look at where your firm is stuck and whether a project makes sense.

About

Kevin Marra

Twenty-four years of walking into businesses and rebuilding how the work actually moves. Fourteen of those inside companies with thousands of employees, where one broken handoff cost real money and somebody had to go find it. Ten on my own since, designing how dozens of firms run day to day.

Multiple clients a year, every year, for over two decades. Some of that work has been preparing firms to be handed off or sold. Most of it is simpler than that. I find the place where the work stops and waits on someone, and I rebuild that part.

In a small law firm, the work usually backs up behind just one person. And that bottleneck is almost always you. Intake sits until you call back. The file waits on your review. Your paralegal knows the answer but not whether she's allowed to give it. You feel it every time you try to take a week off. And that pain shows up directly on your P&L.

Most business advice aimed at attorneys comes from former attorneys. Someone who ran one firm, learned what worked in that one firm, and has been selling those lessons ever since.

You would not hire a litigator who has tried one case. Sample size matters in your work. It matters in mine.

The firm should be able to run for a week without you. That is the work.
