A firm’s back office, for lawyers who work alone.
Lancer LLC is based in Chicago and building in Arizona.
Why
The problem, and the one state where this is possible
Why Lancer exists
Ask a solo personal injury lawyer what keeps the practice up at night and the answer is usually the same two things: a steady stream of cases, and the time it takes to move each one. The firms that have solved both are the large ones, because they can spend on marketing and staff an intake desk. The lawyer who does right by the client is usually running a small shop, and loses cases to billboards for lack of money, not skill.
Lancer is the firm behind that solo. We pay for the marketing and intake, staff the workup and negotiation support, and get paid out of the fee when a case resolves. The attorney keeps the client, the judgment, and the practice.
Why Arizona
In 2021 the Arizona Supreme Court became the first in the country to license law firms with non-lawyer owners, through its Alternative Business Structure program. That is what makes Lancer’s arrangement possible: a licensed entity, regulated by the court, that can fund a practice and share in the fee. Lancer is seeking ABS licensure in Arizona and is starting with a small group of Phoenix-area solos.
