Change...

...is what created our company.  Lawyers, whether in mature legal markets or emerging ones, must meet the challenge of unprecedented change and competition.  The practice of law is changing.  The needs and expectations of clients are changing. 

Many of our clients tell us that many of the old approaches to legal management no longer work well.  On the other hand, most of the new management fads don't seem relevant to the daily professional lives of lawyers. 

This is why we created Walker Clark, LLC -- to improve performance and deliver results for progressive law firms and corporate law departments worldwide.

Walker Clark, LLC was formed by a lawyer and a psychologist to provide a new approach to management services for the legal profession, especially those engaged in international or cross-border practice.  We wanted to break the bad image that management and marketing consultants had developed -- and, in many cases, rightfully earned -- among law firms and corporate law departments.

...and a better way...

Our core values express best what we are trying to accomplish.  These are not what we aspire to.  They describe how we work.

We provide a multidisciplinary approach to strategy, performance, and leadership. 

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.

We design services especially for the needs of lawyers who practice in an increasingly competitive global legal market.  We work with organizations of all sizes, from two-lawyer law firms to some of the largest legal service organizations in the world. 

We are truly international. 

More than half of our members and a majority of our clients located outside North America.  All of our professionals are experienced in international business or legal management; and all of them 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 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 every day with the special characteristics that make the practice of law unlike any other business or 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 engage in transactions. 

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.  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.
