# Makepeace Consulting

Makepeace Consulting is a legal consultancy firm based in Teddington that specialises in helping law firms and legal departments optimise their operations and navigate organisational change. The firm works exclusively with the legal sector, understanding the unique challenges that solicitors' practices face in an increasingly compliance-heavy environment.

The consultancy serves law firms of various sizes, assisting them through periods of transformation and operational improvement. Their expertise centres on three key areas: managing the complexities of implementing change within legal organisations, guiding firms through Lexcel accreditation preparation and maintenance, and redesigning workflows to enhance efficiency and consistency.

What distinguishes Makepeace Consulting is their practical, no-nonsense approach. Rather than delivering theoretical frameworks, they offer advice "in plain English based on practical experience." They focus on removing genuine barriers to growth by tackling the substantive work of developing plans, policies and procedures that meet required standards. Their workflow design service recognises a particular pain point for legal firms: reducing compliance burden so that lawyers can focus on their core work rather than administrative complexity.

The firm positions itself as a hands-on partner willing to do the difficult work required for successful implementation, whether that's preparing for Lexcel assessment or embedding new systems. This consultancy approach appeals to managing partners seeking genuine operational improvement rather than superficial solutions.
