Behind every high-performing law firm is a layer of leadership that rarely makes the press release. The executives and administrators who keep the institution running while the attorneys do what they were trained to do.
That operational layer is not a back-office function. It is the architecture that determines whether a firm can grow, absorb change, and hold its culture together under pressure. When it is right, no one notices. When it is wrong, everyone feels it.
Piahrose works with managing partners and firm leadership on the business and administrative appointments that keep operations sharp, from executive directors and COOs to practice group administrators and financial leadership. We understand the specific demands of a law firm environment: the partnership dynamics, the regulatory pressures, the competition for talent that does not announce itself publicly.
We have worked with firms navigating leadership transitions, practices being built from the ground up, and institutions preparing to hand the baton to the next generation of leadership. In each case, the work begins with an honest conversation about where the firm is, where it intends to go, and what kind of operational leadership that journey actually requires.
