In an industry characterized by conservative management and slow change, Blaqwell prides itself on helping clients to be better by being different. We do not believe that the solution to every problem lies in what others have done. Our innovative work includes:

• Introduced a new method to 'value' law firms that enables law firm management to focus on the long-term stability and growth of the business rather than the short-term annual profit per partner.
  
• Structured a 'gating' approach to enable law firms to plan for and execute mergers and other strategic combinations.
  
• Articulated a different way of looking at client service (the Blaqwell Circle) and evolved 'client focus programs' to assist law firms to change to become more service-oriented.
  
• Developed a collaborative approach to litigation management, based on business principles, that enables inside counsel to work more effectively with their law firms and manage complex cases more cost-efficiently.
  
• Developed a training course on "Business Literacy for Lawyers" to enable inside lawyers to be more effective business partners with their clients.

We also offer a one-day tutorial for the new general counsel with a broad array of topics that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the participant.

We are currently working on innovative alternative billing structures for law firms and legal departments. We claim thought leadership coupled with practical implementation.

With offices in New York, Washington DC, and London, Blaqwell offers superior cross-border knowledge and in-depth cultural understanding to overcome challenges that face law firms and in-house legal departments in today's economy.
