About Doug Brown, JD

Doug Brown, JD is The Law Firm Leadership Coach. He works with managing partners and owners of small and midsize law firms on succession planning, ownership transitions, and building firms that create real options. Most clients arrive stuck on something specific — a partner who won't step up, a merger they're 60/40 on, a transition with no plan. The operational problems and personal challenges often overlap, and that's the sweet spot. Doug has lived his clients' challenges as a lawyer, owner and executive: practicing attorney, in-house counsel, logistics executive, COO of a 21-store retailer he helped through a generational ownership transition, and Executive Director of the Connecticut Bar Association. Services include executive coaching, succession pathway design, strategic planning and retreat facilitation, and CLE speaking for bar associations and accredited platforms nationally. dougbrownjd.com
