Key Performance Indicators for Your Law Firm: Numbers Do
Not Lie.
"What is measured improves." Peter Drucker.
When I speak with lawyers the world over, I talk about creating
vision-based, goal-driven, law practices. When my clients envision
their law firms as what they actually are (a business) and who they
are (lawyers and entrepreneurs), they almost naturally
make a shift from simply doing the legal work to being outstanding
attorneys who are strategic business thinkers. They move from the
trenches to the "c-suite" of their law firm. Whether they
are a true solo or the managing partner of a robust mid-sized law
firm, my clients come to understand the importance of what are
known in the business world as "key performance
indicators" or "KPIs." When they create a KPI
dashboard, they are able, at a moment's notice (such as at the
start of one of our 1:1 coaching sessions) determine the health and
trajectory of their firm.
