Based in Sydney, advising solicitors and barristers across Australia and internationally.

His work is focused on solicitors, barristers, and consultant lawyers operating independently, or preparing to do so.

Paul Ippolito helps solo lawyers build independent practices that are profitable, sustainable and more in control.

Paul brings an unusual mix of experience to this work. He has practised as both a litigator and transactional lawyer, run his own law firm for more than 18 years, managed people across multi-office settings, taught law and management, and continues to practise through Ippolito Lawyers.

That matters.

Solo legal practice is not theory to him. He has been on the tools, in the courtroom, across the table from clients, and inside the business of law.

Through Ippolito Advisory, Paul works with lawyers who are setting up, strengthening or reshaping independent practices.

This includes barristers and solicitors thinking about transitioning to the Bar, consultant lawyers wanting better positioning, and solo practitioners who want more structure, control and commercial confidence.

His advice is practical and direct.

The focus is on strategy, systems, financial control, positioning, practice risk, fee confidence and how independent lawyers need to evolve in a profession being reshaped by technology and AI.

This work is not for everyone.

We say no when it is not the right fit.

We do not sugar-coat advice.

And we are upfront about fees.
