What Our Clients Are Saying

“The legal industry is changing rapidly. Marcie brought together data, experience and vision to inform and engage us in a year-long discussion of what these changes meant specifically for our firm – how do we service our clients, attract the right talent and ensure our next generation is prepared to lead Jackson Walker into the future.”

- Jaymie Bell, Chief Attorney Development Officer, Jackson Walker

“Marcie’s data-driven approach to decision-making provided us with invaluable information that we could use to plot a plan for future action…we are now in a better position to make fact-based strategic planning decisions and confidently chart a path for future growth, leadership and talent development.”

- Gillian Facher, Executive Director, Stradley Ronon

“Marcie does a great job of preparing relevant and impactful content in preparation for these meetings and in leading a conversation that is constructive and in which our lawyers are actively engaged.  Great ideas came out of our meetings and are being implemented now.”

Re-Imagining Law

for Leadership Committee* Members

*Executive, Management, Policy, etc.

Re-Imagining Law is an intensive one-day, onsite program designed to help members of Leadership Committees get up to speed on their role and responsibilities and set the stage for investing in a long-term vision. The program is optimized for 3 types of law firms:

  1. Those embarking on a dedicated initiative to inject long-term thinking into their strategy or business planning on an ongoing basis

  2. Those undergoing a change in leadership (MP, EC or department/practice) which demands building a baseline understanding and discussing how best to prioritize goals in the coming term

  3. Those preparing the next generation of leaders with an in-depth understanding of the business of law and the tools to drive change

Cultural Assessments

Culture is an amorphous concept with powerful, tangible implications. Few law firms truly understand – or measure – the behavioral norms influencing the way individuals interact with one another and with clients. Yet culture is the underpinning of what drives financial performance, employee engagement, client satisfaction and the ability to adapt to change.

We use one of the world’s most recognized assessment tools, Human Synergistics International’s Organizational Culture Inventory, to help our law firm clients unleash the power of their culture. We evaluate the current culture, ideal culture and the processes and mechanisms influencing what people experience every day. Cultural assessments can be used to understand and address issues and opportunities related to:

  • Lawyer attraction and retention

  • Innovation (or lack thereof)

  • Variable performance across practices, offices or countries

  • Employee engagement

  • Leadership selection and expectations

  • Diversity and inclusion

  • Merger/acquisition due diligence or integration efforts
