You went to law school to practice law.
Not to run a small business.

Most elder law and estate planning firms are run by one or two attorneys who never planned to become a CEO, a head of marketing, an HR manager, or a controller. The administrative load grows every year. The work that originally drew you to this practice area shrinks.

01 — Who We Serve

Three paths. One platform.

We work with elder law and estate planning attorneys at three points in their careers. Whichever one fits, the conversation starts the same way — a confidential call.

01

Join something bigger

You love practicing law. You're tired of being the entire business behind it. Joining LFP means stepping into a larger operating platform — the people, the systems, and the back office of a much bigger firm — while you keep doing the legal work you're great at.

02

Create a succession plan

You're not ready to sell, but you're thinking about the next five to ten years. Most attorneys in this practice area never build one. We become the operating engine of your firm now and also solve your succession needs when you're ready to move on.

03

Exit altogether

You're ready to be done — either now or within the next one to three years. We support the sale and transition of your elder law and estate planning practice and ensure your clients and staff get the same high standard of care you've given them for years.

02 — How We Help

We run the business of your firm.

LFP centralizes the non-legal functions of your practice into a single managed service. We provide the people, the systems, and the operating cadence behind the scenes.

Operations & Administration

Day-to-day operations, staff management, vendor management, and the systems that hold it all together.

Marketing & Client Acquisition

Generating qualified prospects and building a steady pipeline of clients you'd actually want to serve.

Intake & Sales

Converting inquiries into clients with a consistent, professional intake process.

Finance, Billing & Reporting

Bookkeeping, billing, AR, and the monthly financial reporting that lets you make clean decisions.

Built for one practice area. On purpose.

You've worked hard to build your reputation and hone your craft. Protect your standing by getting professional management on the business parts of running your firm. And, when you're ready for succession, know you've got a proven team and a soft landing spot for your clients and staff. Make sure they're taken care of, even if it isn't you serving them anymore.

03 — About

Two partners. One thesis.

LFP was built by an attorney who knows what it takes to run a great elder law and estate planning practice — and an entrepreneur who's spent his career helping service-based business owners grow their businesses and achieve operational excellence.

Law Firm Partners (LFP) is not a law firm and does not provide legal services or legal advice. LFP is a management company that provides all support services to attorneys so Attorneys can outsource all non-legal work and focus exclusively on being an Attorney again.

Contact

Let's have a confidential conversation.

The best way to know whether LFP is a fit is a 30-minute call with one of the partners. No pitch deck, no pressure. We'll ask about your firm and your goals, you can ask anything you'd like about LFP, and we'll both decide whether a deeper conversation makes sense. Pick a time that works for you and book directly into our calendar.
