Dates & Time: Wednesday, August 5th (6 PM) – Saturday, August 8th (9 AM or Optional Group Activities until noon)
Location: Westminster, Denver, CO
Capacity: Limited to 25 attendees (CEO / CEO + Operator pairs)
The Law Firm Retreat 2026 is a 2.5-day, in-person, working retreat for law firm leaders ready to step out of daily operation chaos and intentionally design the future of their firm.
This is not a conference or a passive learning experience.
It is a structured, facilitated design workshop where you will reimagine how your firm actually operates.
You will leave with a written, future-state blueprint of your law firm and a clear plan to build it.

Active Workshop, Not a Conference: This is a facilitated design laboratory. Each session builds on the last, layering insight into a cohesive future-state design for your firm.
The Power of Two (CEO + Operator): Designed specifically for law firm owners and their right-hand leaders to ensure alignment and shared ownership of every decision. Solos are welcome as well!
Methodical Execution (The Firm Blueprint): You won’t just take notes. We work inside a guided workbook and blueprint framework to translate vision into a practical, written implementation plan.
An Intimate Experience: Limited to only 15 firms to preserve depth, foster trust, and allow for meaningful, specialized legal design work from the PSG and LFA teams.
What You Will Leave With:
By the end of the retreat, you will have a future-state Firm Blueprint that includes:
Clarified Foundation: Your firm’s mission, vision, and definition of success.
Total Visibility: A mapped client journey from intake through case close, identifying exactly how work should flow.
Optimized Workflows: A clear breakdown of technology, automation, and system priorities.
Leadership Clarity: Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for your ideal team, including delegation and decision-making protocols.
Actionable Roadmap: A practical, written 12-month implementation plan to translate your vision into reality.
