Sustainable Profitability in Law Firm Operations
JANUARY-MARCH 2026
This issue of Worldnotes begins the new year by presenting three sets of practical concepts, tools, and methods that law firms of any size can use to make sustainable improvements in the efficiency, profitability, and service quality of their internal operations.
None of the initiatives discussed in this issue is complicated, costly, or time-consuming, and each can deliver a compelling, measurable, and — most importantly — sustainable return on investment, often in as few as 30 days.
They can also help even the smallest firms and solo practitioners develop differentiating competitive advantages that will allow them to compete successfully against their larger, more richly resourced rivals.
