Walker Clark press kit

 

We welcome inquiries and requests for comment from working journalists.

 

Walker Clark, LLC, is a multidisciplinary management consulting and leadership development firm that works exclusively with the legal profession worldwide. We were formed in 2002 by Lisa M. Walker Johnson, who is a counseling pscyhologist specializing in lawyers and the legal profession, and Norman Clark, who is a lawyer with more than 20 years experience in management of operations and client service delivery in law firms and corporate and government legal departments. Our team includes experts in international business strategy, economics, marketing of professional services, quality assurance, and internal law firm operations and financial management.

 

We work with law firms and law departments of all sizes, specialties, and locations; but we have developed a unique expertise in advising the legal profession in emerging and recently-emerged economies.
