Co-Pilot Mastermind Group
A Private, Invitation-Only Group of Small Firm Lawyers
It’s hard to figure out everything that needs to happen for your practice to run effectively, and efficiently (i.e. technology, operations, marketing, staffing, finance, etc.).
There's a group coaching program geared towards solo and small firm attorneys that can provide you with hands-on guidance to make the powerful changes you want to make.
It's called 'LawFirm Co-Pilot', and it's designed to help lawyers like you take concrete action steps that will make your practice exponentially easier to manage. Specifically...
Become part of a Mutually Supportive Community
You'll be able to join our online forum of like-minded lawyers: ask questions, get feedback, or just lurk and read the idea-inspiring discussions.
And gain the confidence that comes from knowing your business is now on better footing.
“Before I joined I felt overwhelmed with so many things that I felt I should be doing but not knowing where to start.
Having access to Ernie & the other lawyers in this program helped me feel more confident and clear about what to do next.
Usually, it's just me at my firm that is working on the business, and I hate feeling like it is all on my shoulders.
In Ernie's program I've been given concrete steps to improve my practice. All of it is very doable, and it never feels like too much.
This program has helped me to keep working “on” my business, not just “in” my business." —Kerry Wallis, Hermosa Beach, CA
The most common questions about the Co-Pilot program, are about what's included, and what's the cost? So here are the answers to those questions...
Online Resources
There are well-crafted lessons that address different aspects of a typical solo or small firm law practice.
That's over $2,000 worth of programs if purchased separately.
Monthly Zoom Sessions
There are TWO (2) Monthly Zoom sessions, one related to operations, and one related to marketing.
The Operations sessions are 100% focused on systems-building (e.g. documenting & refining procedures and policies)
The Marketing sessions are 100% focused on sending email newsletters (e.g. sending a monthly broadcast to top referral sources)
The zoom sessions also create the opportunity for robust discussion among participants (and the opportunity to ask questions about whatever you need help with).
Recordings & Transcripts
The Zoom meetings are all recorded and transcribed so if you can’t make it to the live session you can watch the whole event, or just read the transcript.
Our lawyer-members have online discussions in a Slack workspace regarding topics like these:
In addition to advice from Ernie and fellow lawyers, you'll also receive help from knowledgeable consultants that Ernie has invited into the Slack group.
Finally, you'll have email access to Ernie and the ability to set up one-to-one phone calls or zoom meetings.
First of all, most lawyers who join consider the Co-Pilot program an investment rather than an expense.
That said, the regular subscription is $159/month (and you can easily cancel at any time).
CAVEAT
This is a "hands-on, get stuff done" program. If you just want information that you never act on, the Co-Pilot program isn't for you.
In this program, you'll take ACTION and get RESULTS that matter. But, don't just take my word for it...

Ernie helps you understand that launching a solo practice is approachable, manageable, and – most of all – achievable.
