The Hidden Revenue Leak Nobody Talks About

Most firms lose margin between signing a client and sending the first invoice.
 It’s not about effort. It’s about experience.
Partners wait on approvals, data is scattered, and onboarding drags.
That delay costs trust, productivity, and real revenue.

Why Partner Experience Comes First

When partners spend hours managing emails, forms, and follow-ups, client relationships slow down.
The partner experience defines how fast a firm can move.
This session explores how better systems, cleaner data, and simple automation can give partners and their teams back time, focus, and control.
When partners move faster, clients notice.

Inside the Bottleneck

Everything that happens between a client’s “yes” and the first billable hour sits in one fragile space — client intake.

It covers ->

Conflict checks
KYC and due diligence
Sanctions and compliance
Matter setup
Onboarding and internal approvals

Everything that happens between a client’s “yes” and the first billable hour sits in one fragile space — client intake.
