Retention is Revenue: How Benefits Drive Profitability

Your Host, Gary Allen

Gary Allen was only two years out of Stanford Law School when the firm he was working for imploded. It happened again four years later. He was left without a job. Those experiences created a passion in Gary to help law firms be better businesses, with efficient operations, streamlined financial management, and a laser focus on profitability. Gary recently retired from practicing law after 30 years as a partner at Givens Pursley, a 40-lawyer firm in Boise, Idaho. He is the founder of LeanLaw, a legal billing software company.

Retention is Revenue: How Benefits Drive Profitability

Session Description:

Turnover is one of the most expensive problems midsize law firms face—lost talent erodes client relationships, drains productivity, and drives up recruiting costs. Compensation alone cannot solve the problem. This fireside chat with Gary Allen, Founder of LeanLaw, and Alan Wilson of GLJ Benefit Consultants will show how strategic benefits packages directly improve profitability by retaining top lawyers and staff. Attendees will learn how best-in-class firms use benefits, risk protection, and integrated services to strengthen culture, reduce overhead, and protect margins.
