Summary
I advise law firms on business strategy, client relationships and business development, with technology an integral part of each. I qualified and practised as a solicitor, hold an MBA from Manchester Business School and have worked with law firms on business development and client relationships since 1990 and on technology since 1992.
Through Carton & Co, I help law firms:
- choose and implement practice and case management systems, independent of software suppliers
- adopt AI with lawyers and IT working as one team
- capture the firm's know-how in prompt guides, playbooks and legal AI skills
- listen to their clients and turn what they say into priorities for service and business development
- develop their conveyancing strategy and move teams from giving quotes to presenting proposals
If you think a law firm you work with could make more of its business, please suggest they have a no-obligation conversation with me.
