Ganek LawFirm
“Our partners left the session more aligned, more energized, and more committed than I’ve seen in years. Springboard brought the right mix of structure, facilitation, and strategic thinking to help us make real progress.” ”
The Challenge
Ganek's partners were looking for clarity about where the firm was headed. They needed a focused set of priorities for 2025, a simple way to sort through opportunities, and a structure that would help everyone stay aligned and moving in the same direction.
How Did We Do It?
Insight Gathering
A short partner survey and individual interviews uncovered themes, surface-level tensions, and shared priorities-forming the backbone of the Springboard helped planning session design.
Leadership Planning Session
We facilitated a one-day workshop that aligned partners on their long- term vision, reviewed key inputs, and introduced a straightforward OKR (Objectives + Key Results) framework to clarify and tighten the firm's 2025 priorities.
Action Plan + Accountability
Springboard translated decisions into a clear quarterly action plan with owners, timelines, and an accountability cadence-giving the team a practical structure to support ongoing focus and execution.
What Did It Take?
To reach their goals, Ganek's partners had to make a few key shifts in how they worked together.
Recognizing shared alignment.
Partners discovered they were closer in vision than they realized- committed to growth, a stronger foundation, and building a firm that would endure for decades. This clarity eased tactical debates and helped the group rally around a common north star.
Making space for strategic work.
Like many law firms, partners often operated in "delivery mode," focused on transactions and clients. Creating space for strategic conversations-and sticking to them-became essential to advancing growth topics like new offices, talent, and operational improvements.
Establishing a rhythm they could sustain.
The team committed to a quarterly routine for reviewing goals, tracking progress, and holding one another accountable, ensuring strategic momentum alongside the demands of legal practice.
Where are they now?
Ganek's partners aligned around a shared long-term destination: building a 75-year firm known for exceptional client experience, strong talent pipelines, consistent operations, and profitable growth across 11+ markets.
From an initial list of 22 ideas, the team narrowed their focus to five firm-wide priorities for Q2, each with clear outcomes and accountable owners. With a new Perimeter office open and a quarterly rhythm in place, Ganek now has clarity, alignment, and forward momentum behind its 2025 goals and long-term vision.
