Is Your Law Firm Running on Luck or Leadership?
Some law firms grow by sheer force of effort. They’ve got smart attorneys, a good reputation, and strong referrals.
But ask them how they’re structured to sustain that growth — and you’ll hear crickets.
If your firm is growing on luck instead of leadership, here’s why that’s risky — and what to do about it.
The Luck-Based Firm
Growth is reactive
No defined KPIs
No strategic plan
Success depends on a few people doing heroic work
Systems are loosely held together with duct tape and shared inboxes
The Leadership-Driven Firm
Growth is intentional
Roles are defined
Progress is tracked
Accountability is baked in
Systems support scale
These firms don’t burn out their people — they build infrastructure that supports them.
Why Luck Runs Out
Eventually, someone leaves. Or demand surges. Or you hit your bandwidth ceiling.
And suddenly, the duct tape comes loose.
Sustainable growth requires leadership — not just hustle.
