Fractional COO Services
Run Your Kings Point Law Firm on Systems — With a Fractional COO Instead of Full-Time Overhead
Sooner or later, the person who built the firm becomes the thing slowing it down — yet a full-time executive on payroll is hard to justify. We install the processes, roles, and metrics that make the firm scale without you in every loop.
The Short Version
What does a fractional COO do for a Kings Point law firm?
A fractional COO for a law firm is a seasoned operations executive who takes over the firm’s day-to-day systems, staffing, technology, and performance metrics on a fractional schedule. In place of a $250,000–$400,000+ full-time hire, the firm gets that same caliber of leadership for a fraction of the price — and a business that runs on systems instead of the owner’s memory. In practice: standardized processes, defined accountability, live dashboards, and the intake, case-flow, and staffing systems that actually drive capacity and profit.
- Top-tier operations leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time COO
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms stalling on founder bandwidth
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Cost of Standing Still
The price of being the bottleneck
The cost isn’t on any invoice, but a founder-run firm pays it every month.
Declined work
Qualified matters you can’t staff walk out the door because the team is maxed and no one owns capacity.
Owner bottleneck
The founder’s week disappears into staffing, vendors, and exceptions instead of clients and growth.
Stalled growth
Growth caps out at whatever the owner can hold in their head.

Proof
What it looks like in practice
Illustrative engagements; details are representative.
A plaintiff PI firm kept turning away qualified cases — case managers were buried and the founder signed off on everything. We mapped the case lifecycle, reset caseloads, wrote intake SOPs, and stood up scorecards and a weekly ops review.
A separate three-office, 40+ staff practice ran a different playbook at each location with no shared view. We standardized SOPs, consolidated reporting into one dashboard, and renegotiated overlapping vendors.
Roughly 30% more capacity with no new hires — and, at the multi-office firm, a 20%+ cut in duplicated cost.
Reviews
What law firm leaders say
“We stopped running on the partners’ memory and started running on real systems. A quarter in, everyone knew exactly what they owned.”
“A full-time COO’s salary wasn’t something we could justify yet. This gave us that level of leadership at a fraction of it.”
“Even just the reporting changed everything; we catch the chokepoints before they ever reach a client.”
