Q. I am the managing partner of a five attorney firm in Fort Worth, Texas. I am new to the managing partner role and am looking for a quick and dirty tool to examine our financial performance. Can you point me to a tool that I can use?

A. I have a quick and dirty tool that I call the Law Practice Profitability and Management Checklist and you are welcome to use it. It is not an exhaustive assessment - just a tool that can be used to get started.
