He founded the firm in 2019 when he saw a need in the marketplace that was not being met. As a former COO and industry outsider, he recognized that lawyers often receive little to no training on how to build, manage, and grow a law firm, yet their professional success is often dependent on mastering those skills. He asked, "How can I help these talented professionals develop the skills necessary to be successful business owners and firm leaders?" The answer was to customize coaching, training, and facilitation services to lawyers (and other highly-skilled professionals) and have them delivered by a team of seasoned, battle-tested business experts.About Jay Berkowitz:Jay Berkowitz is a digital marketing strategist with decades of experience in the industry. As the CEO of Ten Golden Rules, he has helped countless law firms and businesses harness the power of the internet to achieve remarkable growth and visibility.
