Nemawashi Business coaching and consulting for small law firms.

For small law firms only

You built a great practice, but it owns you

Every file, every call, every decision waits on you. Let's turn your firm from a job into a business that you own.

What you get

The work on the firm finally gets done

01

We find where the firm stops without you

I map how a matter actually moves through your firm. Who touches it, where it sits waiting, and every point where the file stops until you look at it. Most owners have never seen this written down.

02

The low value work comes off your desk first

Answering the phone is twelve dollar an hour work. So is scheduling, chasing documents, and setting up matters. We name every role you are currently filling and start replacing them from the bottom.

03

Intake that runs without you in it

The part of intake that legally requires you is smaller than you think. Screening, conflicts, qualifying, document collection, scheduling, engagement letters. All of it gets documented and handed over so the only thing left on your desk is the decision.

04

A first hire who is worth what you pay them

The role defined, the work documented, and a process they can follow before they start. Not an experienced paralegal you hope figures it out, and not a VA you hire and then have no time to train.

05

Planning that survives unpredictable revenue

Most law firm advice assumes a flat fee and a close rate. If you work contingency or a mix, that math does not compute and nobody adjusts it for you. We build the version that fits how you actually get paid.

06

Projects with outcomes and an end date

Each engagement pulls you out of one part of the critical path, then it is finished. You are already too busy to sit in something open ended.

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

Kevin Marra

Twenty four years of walking into businesses and rebuilding how they operate. Fourteen of them implementing SAP, with process consulting embedded in every project. Ten since then independent, doing operating model design for dozens of companies across many industries.

Multiple clients a year, every year, for over two decades. That work has included preparing firms to be handed off or sold, though most of it is simpler than that: finding where the work stops and rebuilding that part.

Most people selling advice to attorneys have run one business. Their own firm. You would not take legal advice from someone who has read one contract.

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