The Business Plan Playbook, Second Edition

A Step-by-Step Guide to Intentional Practice Design™ for Lawyers and Dispute Resolution Professionals.

Launching September 29, 2026

A workshop in a book for building your practice by design, not by default.

The Business Plan Playbook, reimagined for Intentional Practice Design™. More than an update to the original book, this is a workshop in a book for examining the practice you inherited, identifying what has developed reactively, and deliberately designing what comes next.

The Second Edition guides readers in creating a Living Practice Plan™, a practical decision-making and implementation system connecting purpose, clients, services, pricing, delivery, client experience, positioning, financial stability, and responsible AI use.
