Douglas J Wood

Dusk

Winding down.

When Dusk inevitably arrives, Doug provides guidance on how to deal with winding down a practice from both a business and emotional perspective. While building a practice is a choice, every lawyer has to eventually end his or her career. Sometimes pleasantly, sometimes traumatically. Doug helps lawyers who have reached that stage in their careers take control of the process.

If an attorney, moving his or her practice, follows Doug’s advice and prepares a SWOT analysis, strategic goals, and specific tactics, in writing, their journey – both in the beginning and the end – will be far smoother than letting chance dictate their fate.

Add Doug’s new book From Dawn to Dusk: How to Build a Multimillion Dollar Law Practice and Then Give It Away to your reading list or contact us for more information on Doug’s individual coaching.

In the meantime, please enjoy this free guide for preparing your own SWOT analysis.

"Having been mentored by Doug for more than a decade, I can attest that Doug is the ultimate business developer. He is proof that following a plan and being consistent with your business development efforts can lead to a thriving law practice. His approach to business development is clear and easy to follow and includes thinking about the future of your practice as well. As he always said to me, you must be able to "delegate to elevate". Thus, part of your long-term plan should include training and mentoring others who can help support your business and learn to grow their own."

"I had the honor of practicing with Doug for more than a decade. He is an exceptional lawyer and an even better person. Rarely do you see big firm partners sustain eight-figure practices by emphasizing teamwork, leading by example, and mentoring the next generation of talent. Doug accomplished all that and more. He is uniquely qualified to help young lawyers develop business and firm management effectively transition senior lawyers."

Harrison J. DossickPartner, Glaser Weil

"Doug Wood is both thoughtful and resourceful. As people transition, from one part of a high-powered career to another, they receive all kinds of advice. Doug is both an avid and active listener. He understands the importance of shepherding those clients you have worked with for so many years to the right person, while at the same time encouraging you to think about how you want to spend your time and the wisdom you gained in the next phase of your life."

Dusty Elias KirkPartner at Reed Smith

"Douglas Wood is more than a lawyer. He is an astute businessman that understands the implications of how law and policy influence business decisions and outcomes. One of Doug’s previous masterpieces, “Please Be Advised” expertly navigated the advertising community around the landmines of marketing law."
