We provide a multidisciplinary approach to everything that we do.
Walker Clark was founded by a lawyer and a psychologist. Our international team also includes experienced experts in business economics, marketing, legal management, and professional development. We apply our disciplines to the unique culture and needs of the legal profession. This produces breakthrough results that a single methodology can seldom achieve.
We serve progressive legal organizations -- ones who are willing to invest in change.
Our clients are genuinely special. They understand that success in the practice of law is not measured by short-term profits or unsustainable levels of artifically produced financial performance. They are willing to make the investments and lead the changes, both in their firms and in their markets, that produce long-term, multi-generational growth.
We are truly international.
Our team has served law firms, corporate law departments, and government legal agencies in 39 countries. Each of our professionals has decades of experience in international business or legal management; and all of us are bilingual or multilingual.
We realize that no single country or region has a monopoly on innovation or best practices. Rather than deliver a "North American perspective" or a "European approach," we bring to each of our clients the best ideas from lawyers all over the world. We have worked with more small and midsize law firms in more countries than any other legal management consultancy.
Because we are an international firm, we will go anywhere in the world to serve a client or to support a law society or professional organization. Our fees take into account the economics of our client's country and our fees also include travel expenses.
We specialize in the legal profession.
Unlike general consulting firms that occasionally work with lawyers, we work exclusively with the legal profession. We understand the special characteristics that make the practice of law unlike any other business or profession. Every service and product that we deliver has been especially developed or tailored for the legal profession.
We deliver what our clients need, not what we need to sell.
We do not provide "off-the-shelf" or packaged services or products. Instead, each service, project, and program is custom-designed to fit the unique business environment and professional culture.
We build ongoing relationships with our clients, not just do projects .
Even the shortest, most specific project includes follow up. Most of our active clients have been with us for more than a year. Some of them were clients of Walker Clark members even before we formed our firm.
We deliver world-class services at a reasonable price.
We believe that we should be responsible for the economical and efficient management of our engagements, not our clients. Therefore, we do not charge hourly rates. We do not ask our clients to reimburse ordinary business expenses, such as telephone calls, photocopying, and postage. When our engagements require travel, we usually include travel expenses in our fee; or, if travel costs cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty, we set a fixed travel allowance at the start of the engagement and do not exceed it without the client's advance consent.
