A Better Path for Entrepreneurial Lawyers

Escape the False Choice Between BigLaw Burnout and Solo Struggle

Most lawyers are stuck choosing between two extremes:

1. BigLaw with red tape, no ownership, and endless grind, or

2. Solo practice with no leverage, no brand, and no scale.

1. BigLaw with red tape, no ownership, and endless grind, or

2. Solo practice with no leverage,
no brand, and no scale.

We built a better path.

A launchpad for entrepreneurial attorneys to build high-margin, low-friction, fully supported legal businesses inside a modern law firm platform.

What Is the SMB Growth Pathway?

The SMB Growth Pathway isn't another virtual law network hoping you survive alone. It's not a legacy firm pretending to modernize.

It's the only platform designed specifically for experienced, business-minded attorneys who want to build and lead their own practice groups while serving high-quality business clients—especially M&A, HoldCo, and growth-stage operators.

You get the support and scale of a firm with the freedom and upside of solo practice. Plus a clear pathway from individual contributor to business unit leader to partner to equity.

Whether you have a book of business or not, we'll meet you where you are and help you scale.

What Makes SMB Law Different

We give you the best of both worlds:

The support and scale of a firm:

Legal ops, marketing, billing, intake systems

Established brand and reputation

Trained support staff and resources

The freedom and upside of solo practice:

Complete control over your work

Profit-sharing based on performance

Build your own book of business

Plus, we're the only platform built specifically around M&A and founder-led companies—not mass-market legal work.
