My CREDO

I help law and professional services firm leaders turn silos into strengths—moving from stretched resources and fragmented efforts to focused, collaborative growth. By connecting strategy, collaboration, and business development, I help firms unlock greater value, empower their professionals, and drive sustainable growth. I also help marketing and BD teams lead the charge.


Growth is greatest when firms align around what they do best—and give every professional a real platform and path for success. When the core thrives, the whole firm wins.

Managing Partner, Amlaw 200 firm

Clinton made the abstract idea of "business development" tangible for me. He helped me craft a plan that highlighted my strengths and focused on activities that I actually enjoyed doing! His practical advice is immediately actionable, and after only two sessions, I was able to land a client!
