Strategic Advisor, Mentor & Coach To Solo Lawyers
Paul Ippolito
Based in Sydney advising across Australia and internationally.
Paul Ippolito is a strategic advisor, mentor and coach for solo lawyers helping them design sustainable, profitable independent practices.
His work is focused on solicitors, barristers, and consultant lawyers operating independently, or preparing to do so.
Paul brings a combination of legal, commercial and management experience to this work.
He has practised as both a litigator and transactional lawyer, worked in city and regional practice, run his own law firm for more than 18 years, managed small; and large teams across multiple offices, and taught law and management as well as regularly presenting CPD to lawyers.
He also continues to practise through Ippolito Lawyers.
That experience matters.
Solo legal practice is not an abstract concept to him.
He has been on the tools, in the courtroom, across the table from clients, managing people and making the commercial decisions that come with running a legal practice.
His advice is practical, direct and grounded in experience.
The focus is on the things that determine whether an independent legal practice actually works - thing like strategy, systems, cashflow, positioning, pricing, risk, fee confidence and the changes lawyers need to make as technology and AI reshapes the profession.
This work is not for everyone.
We are selective about who we work with and will say no when the fit is not right.
We do not sugar-coat our advice.
We are also upfront about our fees.
