CHIEF Operating Officer; COO - Law Firm Advisor

Help Build the Operational Backbone of High-Growth Law Firms

Most lawyers were never taught how to run a business.

Yet many law firms quickly grow into $10M–$30M organizations where success depends on operational leadership, systems, and execution — not just legal talent.

How to Manage a Small Law Firm (HTM) helps entrepreneurial law firm owners build real businesses with scalable systems, leadership teams, and operational discipline.

We are seeking an experienced Chief Operating Officer who thrives on solving operational complexity, building structure, and helping business owners scale.

This is not an internal corporate COO position.

As COO, you will partner directly with law firm owners and leadership teams to build operational systems that support predictable growth and sustainable profitability.

Your work will focus on transforming entrepreneurial firms into well-structured organizations with clear accountability, measurable performance, and scalable operations.
