LAW SCHOOL GRADUATES
Law School, Check. Now What?
If you’re like us, your passion for the law comes from wanting to make a difference. Law school taught you a lot, but did it teach you to use your law degree to make a great living while making a great impact?
Maybe you’ve considered Biglaw, or going in-house as corporate counsel. You might be a year in to one of those paths and already wondering: Was becoming a lawyer worth it?
You’re not alone.
Our founder, Ali Katz, had the exact same experience.
It’s what led her to create New Law Business Model.
What they didn’t teach you in law school.
You may have learned what you need to practice law, but you were never taught how to start and build a successful law practice.
What’s missing from your
law school training:
-
How to pick a practice area.
Want to make a difference? They suggest public interest. Want to make great money? They suggest Biglaw or in-house. Want control over your schedule? They suggest government work.
But what if you didn’t have to choose between impact, income, and a great life? Building your own law practice around estate planning done the way we teach here at New Law Business Model means you can have it all — meaningful impact, a great income, and control over your life.
-
How to build a law practice.
The broken nature of many of today's law practices are often not the fault of the lawyers at their helm. Many lawyers, like you, were given all the knowledge to practice the law, but little of the instruction necessary to start and maintain a successful business.
This fundamental shortcoming means that even talented and ambitious lawyers are trapped in mediocre law practices, unable to realize their full potential.
-
How to build a financially successful business.
Business isn’t easy, but it can be a lot of fun when you aren’t doing it alone. It requires a high value service, a proven pricing model, fee quoting systems, marketing, intake and engagement structures, plus the cash flow planning and team building to create long-term success.
You don’t have to and shouldn’t go it alone. Lawyers who employ the New Law Business Model get all of this and more through our PFL membership program.

Finally, Estate Planning that Works.

Levi came out of law school knowing he wanted to start his own practice. But the stress immediately effected his family life and well-being. Using the systems we gave him, Levi now has control of his schedule and his income.

Levi knew he wanted to start his own practice after law school.
“New law Business Model has absolutely changed my life. I’m able to focus more on family, I’m able to enjoy coming to work each day, I’m able to not worry about finances. I’m able to just enjoy life and enjoy my practice.”
Bethany Gilson
Providing a unique value
“There are other attorneys who dabble in Estate Planning, but there was nobody here holding themselves out as the Estate Planning attorney for the community. And I’ve never had an issue with finding clients or with the price I charge because people desperately need this education. They need this service.”
Will Stafford
Managing your mindset
"You have to go into it with a belief mindset that this works, if you work it properly, and if you work it as prescribed. So that’s what we did. We just implemented and implemented and implemented, and we saw our firm grow rapidly."
David Feakes
Control your time and attention
"Because of NLBM, we work with clients only 3 days a week and are able to enjoy life. I am proof that it works."
You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. We already did. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
