84% of Australian law practices have just one principal.
Many are happy to stay that way. Good for them. This isn't for them.
If you're not one of them — if you want more, and haven't found the way there yet — keep reading.
Maybe you've slowed, hit a ceiling. Revenue has stalled, profit is flat. More hours won't solve it — it'll just speed up burnout.
Or maybe you haven't stalled at all — you just don't know what the first real step to growth looks like.
Either way, you're stuck in the same place: knowing you want more, without a clear way to get there.
What do you do next? Figure it out alone? It always takes more time than you have. It's slow, evaporating billable time. Mistakes cost you. Energy drains — and momentum stalls. Good intentions struggle to rise.
You can't solve a problem with the same thinking that created it.
It's time to think and do differently.
Running a small firm is isolating.
You're expected to have the answers — for clients, for fee earners, for support staff. But who do you go to when the friction is inside your own firm? This is your opportunity to change that.
Better Together is a small, confidential peer group for law firm principals who are serious about fixing that friction — and building the practice they desire.
What feels like your problem probably isn't just yours.
What's unclear to you is already working for someone else.
Learn what's working. Borrow the fix, or borrow the opportunity you hadn't even considered.
Share your goal out loud. In front of people who'll ask what happens next — and hold you to it.
Compare notes with a small cohort of non-competing firm owners. See the patterns you can't see from inside your own firm — and the openings you can't see either.
A small group, a shared diagnostic, real firms.
Facilitated by Roy West, business coach with 12 years' experience working with law firms across Australia.
Map the leak, draft the opportunity
Every principal runs the same diagnostic against their own firm. No guesswork — clear visibility into revenue predictability, realisation rates, capacity, and intake bottlenecks.
Work it with the group
A small cohort of non-competing firm owners, meeting fortnightly. Real numbers, real stress points, real fixes — apply it to your practice today.
Track your decisions and results
Turn valuable conversations into action. Set priorities, and hold yourself accountable.
Here's what you need to know.
Is this confidential?
Completely. Every principal — including Roy — signs a confidentiality agreement. What's shared stays here.
What if a competitor joins?
You hold the keys. No new member joins your cohort without your final approval.
How much time does this actually take?
60 minutes, fortnightly. Designed to protect your billable capacity, not drain it.
What does it cost?
$300 + GST a month. Month-to-month flexibility. Stay because it works, not because you signed a contract.
Stop solving firm challenges in a vacuum.
Join a cohort of peers building better, more resilient firms — together.
