kounsel — Legal. Solos. Simplified.

The problem

Most of what Solos spend time on, doesn’t turn into cash

For the average solo, of every 8 hours worked, fewer than 2 turn into cash. The work happens. The path to revenue doesn’t.

8.0 Hours workedWhat you put in Per day

2.3 Hours billableWhat gets recorded as billable time 28%

1.9 Hours billedWhat gets invoiced to clients 24%

1.7 Hours collectedWhat actually becomes revenue 21%

Six hours a day of work that never becomes income.

The advantage

Three things, working together to grow your revenue

A practice management platform. A team that does the operating work. Modern data tools and AI that sharpen both. Working together, they close the gap between the work you do and the revenue you earn.

Integrated Platform

All your data, one system.

Matters, billing, accounting, intake, communications, marketing. Connected.
No silos. No tab-switching. No data hand-offs between disconnected tools.
One source of truth for every operating decision.

Connected Insights

Patterns surfaced across every part of your firm.

Cross-cuts billing + matters + comms to surface unbilled time, aging WIP, slipping client touchpoints.
Pattern-matches your numbers against peer benchmarks. Raises pricing or workflow flags.
AI assists with pattern detection. Context and judgment stay with the team.

Integrated Team

Operators who do this all day, every day.

They’ve worked across dozens of solo firms. Pattern recognition built into the practice.
They analyze your numbers, identify what’s possible, and implement the solutions.
The operating load is shared. Billing, intake, marketing, IT, vendor coordination, handled.

One system. One team. More revenue from the hours you already work.

The exit

And, we create
exit optionality

Most solo practices aren’t sold. When the attorney stops, the firm stops, and decades of goodwill walk out the door. Kounsel prepares you to sell with the documents, processes, and an integrated operating layer that turns personal goodwill into firm goodwill.

Practice longer because the administrative burden is lifted. Or sell when you’re ready. Either way, the firm earns more, and you’ve built something worth more.

Trust

Built around your obligations

Your state bar’s rules. Modern data-security posture. The supervision framework ABA Model Rule 5.3 demands of any outside vendor. Built so meeting your obligations is straightforward.

Compliance, built in.

Trust account records mapped to your state bar’s requirements: register, individual client ledgers, monthly reconciliation, retention through the period your jurisdiction requires.
Client file retention governed by your engagement-letter policy: your state’s ethics framework, indexed destruction.
Audit-ready by default: every action logged, records exportable for governing body review, questions, or defense.

Data security.

Built on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure: the highest industry standard for data protection.
Encryption at rest and in transit by default.
Per-firm isolation for client data. Aggregate, anonymized patterns may inform benchmarks across the Kounsel network. Your specific client data never leaves.
Subprocessors disclosed at signup.

Designed for Rule 5.3.

Operational work we run; legal-substance work stays with you. Supervision under your state’s Rule 5.3 is straightforward.
Permission-aware AI: privileged content access only on your explicit direction.
Audit logging on operator actions affecting client data.
ABA Formal Op. 512 framework, reviewed with outside ethics counsel.

The conversation

Find out how much more your practice could earn, and be worth

A 30-minute call. Bring whatever you’re comfortable sharing about your numbers. You’ll leave with three specific things:

What you could be earning. The income lift available in your current operating stack.
What your firm could be worth. A working valuation based on your practice, not a generic multiple.
Whether Kounsel is the right fit. Or whether something else would be.

Schedule

30 minutes. Straight talk.

Pick a time that works. No prep needed.
