Discover actionable approaches to improving your law firm that you can adopt today. In The Seven Disciplines for Successful Firms, trial lawyer, founder, and CEO Chad Dudley prescribes seven key disciplines that he has drawn from consulting with hundreds of law firms across the country. Regardless of size, location, or practice area, there are seven core disciplines that every great firm–no matter who they are–gets right:

1. Great firms know where they are going and why.
2. Great firms honestly assess where they are.
3. Great firms never take their eyes off of intake.
4. Great firms get their best cases to their best people.
5. Great firms don’t let their cases gather dust.
6. Great firms get their reporting right.
7. Great firms build great teams.

Dudley organizes strategies around each of these seven disciplines designed to start growing your firm. He offers numerous checklists, examples, and detailed steps you can adopt–from client intake, case selection and management, revenue analysis, reporting, to hiring and training staff, and more–that will give you tools to help take your law firm to the next level.

This is not your traditional law firm management book. Dudley doesn’t waste your time by trying to tell you which copy machine to buy or how to negotiate your lease. Instead, he offers a systemic approach to identifying, tracking, and achieving the changes you need.

It doesn’t matter if you just hung up your shingle or have hundreds of employees across multiple states, Dudley offers experience-driven solutions for all law firms. Whether you’re an associate looking to improve your firm from within or a managing partner seeking to strengthen weak points and identify bottlenecks, this book is here to help.

As Dudley puts it, “I don’t care if you are the receptionist, law clerk, runner, file clerk, or a great trial attorney. [...] If you are reading this book, you care about representing your clients and improving your firm. You are a leader and this book is for you.”
