Helping Legal Professionals Build Businesses That Work
I’m Stacey Lake — legal ops strategist, business growth coach, and your behind-the-scenes partner in scaling a legal services business without the overwhelm.
That’s where I come in.
After years in the legal industry, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over: talented professionals maxing out their time, stuck in day-to-day operations, and unsure how to break past their current revenue ceiling.
That’s where I come in.
Why Work With Me?
I blend fractional COO-level expertise with hands-on marketing strategy — meaning you don’t just get ideas, you get actionable plans and the systems to make them happen.
I know what works in the legal services world right now, and I build every strategy to fit your goals, your market, and your capacity.
My Mission
To help legal professionals — from California LDAs to freelance legal ops agencies — create smart, scalable businesses that deliver exceptional service and give them the freedom to grow.
- You shouldn’t have to choose between great client work and a sustainable business model.
- Legal service businesses can (and should) run with the same efficiency as the most modern law firms.
- Flat-fee, milestone, and subscription models are the future — and you can use them to scale profitably.
