Stephanie Everett, Esq. understands what it’s like to practice law and run a business. She started her career at a big law firm before co-founding her own real estate litigation firm. As the managing partner, she watched her firm grow from two lawyers to a team of twenty people in just seven years. Her passion for running a business led her to pursue coaching and consulting so she could help other lawyers who work hard, but often felt stuck in their business. In 2016, a joint venture comprising the State Bar of Georgia, the Georgia Supreme Court, and Georgia’s five law schools tapped her to design and launch Lawyers for Equal Justice, an incubator helping newer lawyers start socially conscious law firms.

Ms. Everett joined the Lawyerist team in 2018 and launched our Lawyerist Lab program—helping lawyers grow and sustain a healthy business. Lawyerist merged with Affinity Consulting Group in 2023. Today, she serves as Affinity’s Chief Growth Officer and continues to coach lawyers. She is a co-author of Lawyerist’s best-selling book The Small Firm Roadmap Revisited, and host of The Lawyerist Podcast.
