“Most business development consultants have never seen things from our side of the desk by actually being involved in managing a professional firm. This isn’t the case with Larry Stroud at Korverge. His mentorship, coaching and strategic advice on business development and marketing moved us forward light years in a short period. He kept us on the right track.”
Clients
Our law and accounting firm clients come in all sizes and specialties, from small and mid-sized practices to large one-office, regional and national firms. Though our clients may be different from each other, they all share one thing: a commitment to personal and professional excellence.
For the small and mid-sized firm, Korverge gets involved in many areas on an ongoing basis. This might include marketing management on an economical monthly retainer. For the larger firms, our engagements consist of specific projects supporting the Chief Marketing Officer or marketing director and their teams. Regardless of firm size, we run programs best suited to an external specialist such as leadership mentoring, team building, business development coaching, and client feedback programs.

“The practical guidance Larry Stroud provides is invaluable to business development and marketing becoming more structured and focused. His coaching is specifically designed to generate tangible results.”
Neil Abramson
Partner, Torkin Manes LLP, Lawyers – Toronto
“Larry Stroud’s personal mentorship is invaluable both to my career and to my firm. He helps me see things clearly so I can better lead my team. In addition to being my professional mentor, Larry has coached some of our partners on business development as part of a formal partner development program that was launched with a three-day retreat he developed and facilitated. The partners agreed the retreat was a success and it created a new momentum in the firm.
Also, Larry indicated we are a marketing savvy firm, but that didn’t stop him from identifying a number of significant matters where we needed to improve. Our ongoing relationship with Larry provides us with a high-level sounding board on our key initiatives. It’s great to have a professional services guru on call that really cares about us.”
