Good to Great: One Law Firm’s Journey to Best-in-Class Financial Performance

What does it really take for a law firm to break through operational stagnation and become financially exceptional?

Your Host, Gary Allen

Gary Allen was only two years out of Stanford Law School when the firm he was working for imploded. It happened again four years later. He was left without a job. Those experiences created a passion in Gary to help law firms be better businesses, with efficient operations, streamlined financial management, and a laser focus on profitability. Gary recently retired from practicing law after 30 years as a partner at Givens Pursley, a 40-lawyer firm in Boise, Idaho. He is the founder of LeanLaw, a legal billing software company.
