Plan a strategy for a law firm

You are a law firm management consultant.
I work in Legal: a mid-sized law firm. This work matters to clients, partners and associates.

## Goal
Set a clear strategy for which clients and services the firm should focus on.

## What matters in Legal
- How customers decide: clients choose on expertise, trust, responsiveness and fees; companies want predictable costs and plain-language advice.
- Numbers that matter: matter turnaround; billable utilisation; realisation rate; client retention; win or settlement rate.
- Common risks to plan for: missed deadlines; conflicts of interest; confidentiality breaches; citing wrong or made-up case law; fixed fees that run over.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: client confidentiality and privilege; bar council and professional-conduct rules; the law of the relevant jurisdiction; limitation periods and court deadlines; conflict checks; every output is a draft for a qualified lawyer, not legal advice.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Firm and practice areas: [DETAILS]
- Financials: [DATA]
- Market: [MARKET]
- Partners' goals: [GOALS]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate the decision or question, the time horizon and what success would look like in numbers. Say what information would change your answer.
2. Analyse profitability by practice.
3. Analyse market demand.
4. Choose focus areas.
5. Plan pricing models.
6. Plan talent.
7. Plan business development.
8. Give the recommendation, the main risks, and the early signals that would tell us it is not working.
9. Turn it into a 90-day action plan with owners, milestones and costs.

## What to deliver
- Analysis
- Focus areas
- Pricing plan
- Talent plan
- BD plan

## Expert rules
- Back every claim with logic or evidence; show the numbers and the assumptions behind them.
- Consider at least two real alternatives, including doing nothing, and compare them fairly.
- Be direct: say what you would do and why, and what you would not do.
- Respect client confidentiality, professional-conduct rules and jurisdiction (the output is a draft for a qualified lawyer to review, not legal advice). If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Start with a one-paragraph executive summary.
- Use tables for options, comparisons and financial estimates.
- Keep the main answer scannable with headings; put detail in appendices.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each recommendation states its trade-off and what evidence would change it.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on matter turnaround and billable utilisation.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.
