Strategic Advice For Solo Lawyers
Build a profitable, sustainable legal practice and take back control
Being a good lawyer doesn't automatically mean you're running a good business.
Ippolito Advisory helps solo solicitors, barristers and consultant lawyers make better business decisions, solve practice problems and build practices that work.
Practical, direct advice from someone who knows both the practice and the business of law.
Is Your Practice Working For You?
Too much work. Not enough profit. Long hours. Staffing problems. Inefficient systems. Uncertain direction.
Or perhaps things are going reasonably well, but you know they could be better.
The answer isn't always more clients, more staff or more technology.
Sometimes you need experienced, independent judgement to identify what's really happening and decide what to do about it.

What Our Clients Say
"Thanks to Paul for casting a fresh pair of eyes over the workings of our legal practice. It was great to sit down and bounce issues, problems and ideas with someone who has done it all before. Paul’s knowledge and experience made a measurable difference. It was invigorating to rethink the business plan after speaking with Paul. I now feel more confident in my own decision making and about where our law firm is heading. Paul is down to earth, honest and his straight talking nature was appreciated. I look forward to working with him again."
