We see the legal industry on the threshold of tomorrow — a tomorrow that includes an evolving and increasingly competitive marketplace that demands an engaged, diverse workforce, strategic thinking, creative business development approaches, and innovative efforts. To compete, the 21st-century law firm culture and structure must attract, retain and support lawyers from all backgrounds and perspectives who work collaboratively and proactively to meet the evolving needs of our international community.

It’s not easy being a lawyer today. It involves a rapid-fire juggling of personal pursuits and desires with various, often competing, work requirements. Threshold Advisors takes a strategic approach to individual and organizational change and growth by implementing a methodology paralleling that outlined in our business development philosophy, Daunting to DOable:

  • Why . . . is success important to you?

  • What . . . do you want to accomplish?

  • Who . . . is necessary to achieve your goals?

  • How . . . do we implement an effective approach in a smart way?

Creating workplaces where everyone thrives, elevating the success of their firms, is DOable.
