Advisory For Lawyers Building Or Strengthening A Solo Practice

We work with solicitors, barristers, and consultant lawyers on the decisions that shape an independent practice - positioning, pricing, systems, capacity, financial control, and direction.

This is practical, experience-based work for lawyers who want a more sustainable, better-run practice and clearer judgment about what needs to change next.

For lawyers who want clear, practical guidance on the next stage of their practice.

Built On Real Legal Practice Not Theory

Paul Ippolito has spent more than 40 years of diverse experience in roles ranging from counsellor, management, current practising lawyer, more than 18 years as a solo law firm principal, lecturer in law for over 18 years as well as advisor for over 10 years working with lawyers generally and those thinking seriously about how to build, strengthen, or reposition an independent practice.

Our Services

A Strategy Session

A deeper working session for lawyers dealing with bigger questions about their practice

The Strategy Session is the main way to work with us.

It is suited to lawyers who want experienced input on the structure, direction, and development of their practice, particularly where the issues are broader, more strategic, or more consequential.

This may be a good fit if you are:

setting up your own practice
reshaping an existing solo practice
trying to improve structure, pricing, or financial control
working through capacity or workflow problems
reconsidering the direction of your practice
wanting clearer priorities and firmer next steps

You leave with a clearer view of the issues, a better sense of what matters most, and practical guidance on what to do next.

Our Solo Law Firm Tune-Up

A focused first step for lawyers who want a practical outside view

The Tune-Up is a shorter session for lawyers who want to work through a specific issue, test a concern, or get clearer on the main pressure point in the practice.

It is a sensible starting point if you want a focused conversation before deciding whether deeper advisory work is needed.

Not Sure Where To Start?

Choose the Strategy Session if you are dealing with broader questions about structure, direction, positioning, pricing, or the overall shape of the practice.

Choose the Tune-Up if you want a shorter, more focused conversation about a particular issue or simply want a practical first step.

"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."
