From time to time, businesses are forced to make critical decisions that to the uninformed, or unimaginative, may appear to be a misguided attempt to tilt at windmills. It takes vision, ingenuity, and gumption to make the difficult decisions that often define success. At CKPT, we are not afraid to invest in our clients' objectives and become a vital part of the team, even if it appears that we are tilting at windmills.

We formed this firm to focus on building better business relationships with our clients.

In the last three decades, businesses, through genius and necessity, have changed - repeatedly and dramatically - to meet consumer demands and to respond to technological discoveries. During this same time, law firms have changed very little. Take away Blackberries and laptops, and most law firms would look the same now as they did in 1974. Law firms have changed their role from trusted business advisor to high-priced vendor. Traditional law firms focus on their own needs, which are based almost exclusively on the static notion of billable hours.

Our business model is distinctively non-traditional. Without the burden of large overhead expenses, and with a desire to focus on what our clients want, we have the ability to create unique working arrangements to better meet our clients’ objectives. With programs like Invested Billing and Virtual General Counsel, we are changing the way clients are served.
