You built a thriving Dallas practice. Somewhere along the way, you also inherited a second full-time job: running the business. ING Collaborations provides fractional COO services to law firms across Dallas–Fort Worth, so you can hand off the operational load and get back to practicing law.
Fractional COO Services For Dallas Law Firms
Plenty of fractional executives work with law firms. Very few can meet you at your office on Wednesday. ING Collaborations is based in Dallas and serves firms throughout the DFW metro — which means in-person leadership meetings, a regular office presence if you want one, and a COO who understands the market your firm competes in. Whether you're in Uptown Dallas, Las Colinas, Plano, or Fort Worth, local means local.

A Dallas-Based COO, At Your Table
What We're Seeing in Dallas Firms Right Now
The DFW legal market is one of the fastest-growing in the country, and it shows in the firms we serve. The same patterns come up again and again:
• Hiring is outpacing operations. Firms are adding attorneys faster than their systems, management structure, and onboarding can support — so every new hire adds friction instead of capacity.
• The talent market is unforgiving. Competition for experienced attorneys and paralegals in DFW is fierce, and firms without clear roles, positive culture, career paths, and competitive comp structures are losing people they can't afford to lose.
• Revenue is growing; profit isn't. Rising overhead — office space decisions included — quietly eats the gains, and many owners can't see where because their reporting was never built to answer that question.
• Everything still runs through one person. Founder-led worked at $2M. At $5M–$10M, it's the bottleneck.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're exactly who we work with.
Every engagement is tailored, but the work generally falls into six areas:
• Vision and Planning — define where the firm is going and build the operational plan to get there.
• Firm Advisory Services — a strategic partner for partnership, personnel, and scaling decisions.
• Law Firm KPIs — the metrics that tell you the true health of your business.
• Fractional Integrator — the executor who turns your vision into completed initiatives.
• Best Practices and Processes — systems and SOPs so the firm runs smoothly without heroics.
• Systems and Initiatives — hands-on leadership for big projects like billing system changes and new technology.
