​Operate smarter, grow faster

​Caralee Fontenele leads Collective Family Law Group, a streamlined and systemised family law firm. With a strong focus on scalable systems, smart leadership, and sustainable growth, her firm runs smoothly without relying on her daily involvement in operations.

​That operational clarity became the foundation of Scalable Law, where Caralee now works with law firm owners across Australia and New Zealand to build firms that grow profitably, without burnout. To date, she’s supported over 250 firms in scaling their revenue, teams, and impact with confidence.

​This evening is for ambitious law firm leaders who are seeking practical ideas they can apply. We’ll cover:

​Attracting top talent in a tight market

​Traditional job boards like SEEK are no longer effective. So, what recruitment methods work in today's market? VXT CEO Luke Campbell—whose company is growing 10% month-on-month—shares strategies for attracting and recruiting top candidates, including how he uses LinkedIn for free, scalable recruitment.

​Systemising operations so that your firm doesn’t rely on you

​Develop an excellent data strategy to keep your finger on the pulse of firm performance. Instead of constantly putting out fires, implement systematic solutions. We'll cover systems for smooth client onboarding, streamlined legal service delivery, and systematic data collection.

​Choosing tech for smooth operations

​With so much emerging AI technology in the market, it's crucial to choose solutions that will help—not hinder—your firm's operations. Whether it's Clio, VXT or another tool, making smart decisions about when and how to invest in new technology can make or break your next stage of growth.
