The Estate Planning Practice Growth Program™ (EP PGP) helps you assess the areas in which you need support and assists you in creating a plan and implementing the changes that will revolutionize your practice. Learn more about how the program works below.

HOW EP PGP WORKS: 3 CORE ELEMENTS

  1. A focus on the cornerstones of practice growth.
    Every law practitioner desiring substantial growth and freedom must master time management, client development, staffing, cash flow, and profitability.
  2. A proven formula for implementation.
    Discover how to immediately implement significant change in your practice and life.
  3. A robust community of support.
    Join like-minded estate planning attorneys for monthly, intensive, half-day coaching workshops facilitated by experienced attorney coaches who have created the same change you hope to see in your firm and will facilitate a step-by-step breakdown of turnkey law office systems into smaller, manageable actions.

The EP PGP is the key to

  • increasing revenue by at least 25% and potentially doubling your revenue thereafter;
  • attracting the clients you enjoy serving;
  • creating systems and processes that bring freedom, allowing you to take more time off; and
  • hiring and developing a strong team of dynamic individuals who help keep your practice running smoothly.

What You Will Receive

  • Group Coaching.
    As a participant of the EP PGP, you will walk away from each half-day session with the tools to eliminate distractions and focus on the work that matters most. Each session delves into the specific tactics and strategies needed to take your firm to the next level. These monthly workshops introduce a high level of information, tools, and systems, including practical forms and specific scripts, in four key areas: time management, marketing, staffing, and cash flow. All are designed to speed implementation and results.
  • Monthly accountability check-ins.
    During your first year, the Atticus team will coach, encourage, hold accountable, and support you, while teaching you the secrets to implementing all of the resources and tools you learn. See immediate changes from private one-on-one accountability and support calls with your dedicated Atticus Resource Advisor. Together, you will begin experiencing significant growth and freedom.
  • Marketing resources and tools.
    You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Enjoy access to books, forms, resources, webinars, and podcasts from Atticus’ comprehensive library of tools curated to help lawyers like you build practices they love. Additionally, each quarter, you will complete a My 90-Day Focus™. With each session, you will feel rejuvenated, refocused, and reenergized to implement the systems that you’d only hoped for in the past.
  • Community.
    Connect with a supportive community of fellow attorneys who walk alongside you on the journey toward practice transformation.
