At Law Biz Con 2025, we’re spotlighting the innovators shaping the future of legal practice. Among our Gold Sponsors, one organisation stands out for its transformative, people-first approach to legal operations: Lawganised.
Lawganised isn’t your typical consultancy. They’re growth partners for boutique and mid-sized law firms ready to move beyond daily chaos and build high-functioning, systemised businesses. Their mission is crystal clear: “To change the lives of law firm Principals.” And with decades of leadership and operational expertise behind them, they’re delivering real change, firm by firm.
About Lawganised
At the helm of Lawganised is Ben Deverson, a seasoned executive with over 30 years of leadership experience—more than half of which has been spent managing and leading professional services firms.
From his time as Managing Director and equity principal of a boutique Brisbane law firm (2016–2019) to senior roles in accounting, infrastructure, and even the Australian Army, Ben has developed a sharp eye for what makes law firms work—or struggle.
Although not a lawyer himself, Ben has cultivated deep operational expertise in the legal sector. His strengths span strategic planning, process automation, leadership development, forecasting, cash flow, risk management, and—most importantly—culture. His passion lies in building high-trust, high-performing teams that thrive on vulnerability-based leadership and alignment.
“When law firm Principals stop carrying everything on their shoulders and build cohesive, trusted teams, their whole outlook changes. That’s where the magic happens,” says Ben.
While Ben sets the strategic vision, Lawganised is a team effort—and one of its key contributors is Rachel Barbaro, a Director who serves as Virtual General Manager for several client firms.
With 25 years in legal support and office management, Rach is a system-building powerhouse. She’s a self-proclaimed legal tech enthusiast and is often found enhancing management reporting, productivity tools, and practice management systems for clients across Australia.
Whether it’s crafting precedents, creating workflows, or finding efficiency through automation, Rach is all about making firms run smoother—and with less stress.
What Is Lawganised?
Lawganised is an Australian-based legal consultancy dedicated to helping law firm owners scale with structure, clarity, and confidence. They work primarily with boutique and mid-sized firms across the country, empowering Principals to operate their practices like thriving businesses, not just reactive legal service providers.
Unlike advisory firms that stop at strategy, Lawganised gets in the trenches with you. Their approach is hands-on, practical, and deeply customised to each firm’s goals and challenges.
Their core service offering revolves around five key pillars:
- Team structure and accountability systems
- Workflow and process mapping
- Legal tech selection and implementation
- Leadership training and operational delegation
- Profitability analysis and pricing models
Why Lawganised Is Different
Lawganised understands that law firm owners are often buried in client work, stuck in the weeds, and constantly reacting. Their unique blend of strategy and implementation helps firms get out of “survival mode” and into sustainable, scalable growth.
Here’s how they do it.
1. Systems That Free Up Your Time
Lawganised helps Principals stop working in the business and start leading it. By implementing clear role definitions, accountability structures, and documented workflows, they give teams the autonomy to execute without constant oversight.
“You shouldn’t be managing emails, writing up process notes at 11 pm, or chasing down tasks. That’s not scalable—and it’s not sustainable,” says Deverson.
Once a firm has systems in place, the day-to-day can run without the Principal’s constant input, allowing leaders to focus on strategy, client relationships, or simply reclaiming personal time.
2. Tech That Actually Works for You
Legal tech is often overwhelming, filled with promises, but rarely aligned to the unique needs of each firm. Lawganised cuts through the noise by helping you select, implement, and optimise the right technology for your workflow, team size, and stage of growth.
From practice management systems to CRM integrations and document automation, every tech recommendation is mapped directly to profitability, efficiency, and improved client service.
Lawganised also protects firms from falling into shiny object syndrome, ensuring tech investments actually improve operations rather than complicating them.
3. Mapping Out Every Process for Profit and Precision
With visual workflow tools, Lawganised helps law firms design step-by-step processes for everything from client onboarding to billing and feedback collection.
This reveals inefficiencies, eliminates duplication, and ensures a consistent client experience across the board.
Instead of reinventing the wheel every time, team members can follow clearly documented procedures that enhance productivity and deliver predictable results, without hand-holding.
4. People and Culture That Drive Real Results
Systems alone don’t scale a firm—people do. That’s why Lawganised puts a strong emphasis on culture, leadership, and performance management.
Through coaching, onboarding design, and performance frameworks, they help Principals shift from reactive management to proactive leadership. Their goal? To create workplaces where people are empowered, accountable, and aligned with the firm’s vision.
This leadership-first approach is also what makes Lawganised unique: they don’t just fix surface-level issues—they help firms build a culture of ownership, trust, and excellence.
5. Profitability Without the Pressure
Lawganised works closely with firm leaders to analyse financials, pricing structures, and time costing to identify leaks and improve margins.
With the right systems in place, most clients discover that better profitability doesn’t require more hours—it just requires smarter structure.
Whether it’s refining pricing, adjusting team utilisation, or cutting inefficiencies, Lawganised ensures that growth comes with improved financial health, not burnout.
Why Law Firm Owners Should Pay Attention
If you’re feeling stretched thin or unsure how to grow without losing control, Lawganised could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Here’s what their clients experience:
- More Time: Get out of the weeds and start leading.
- More Profit: Run leaner, smarter operations with higher margins.
- Better Client Outcomes: Consistent service leads to happier clients and more referrals.
- Scalable Growth: Build a firm that can expand without falling apart.
One client summed up the experience perfectly:
“Working with Lawganised was the turning point from being stuck on the tools to actually running a business.”
