For the past 11 years, I have been a practitioner and leader of Eques, Inc., based in my home community. We started with two people with goals of just serving our local community and has most recently opened its 6th office, hired its 10th attorney, and launch a statewide DIY legal document platform.I have sought to define Eques by providing client-centered legal services offered by a collaborative team of valued-based practitioners.I firmly believes that ethically autonomous value-driven practice of law is an art form but that the delivery of legal services is a science.That belief has formed the impetus for my operations team that guides the business, the science, of the provision of legal services and supports the practices of the firm’s multiple practitioners.Eques distinguishes itself not by being the most inexpensive alternative in its market but by being the most client-centric.This is evidenced by Eques enjoying a near 80% net promotor score, dozens of 5-star client reviews, and regularly 1/3 of the matters created every month being returning clients.When I and my team have run up against a lack of institutional and industry knowledge about the practice of law, we have carved our own path.We have created and leveraged systems, formulas, and methodologies that allow our practitioners to perform at levels beyond longer established and more experienced contemporaries.

The Single-Use Office Space Model is Past Its PrimeOver the past decade, business owners and entrepreneurs have begun to realize that the single-use office space model is isolating. It is good for keeping your team in a homogenous environment but is not good for creativity, innovation, and collaboration across multiple industries. Owners and entrepreneurs have awakened to the realization that we have a lot to learn from each other, even if we aren’t in the same field of work. But the office spaces we use are only designed for one kind of company at a time. RISE is a space that deconstructs our isolation and opens the door to collaboration, innovation, and community while creating opportunities for what is next in your journey.RISE Is Your SpaceWorking from home can be great!

Launch law was created by the team at Eques to solve a problem. That problem was that there was a lack of access to basic legal solutions backed by an experienced firm invested in Ohio communities. The Eques team made it their mission to create a do it yourself document platform that would be accessible to users across Ohio. No matter where you are or when you needed it, Launch Law will be ready for you. While Launch law is just starting with a portfolio of six of the most common documents the team at Eques works on, there are almost 40 more documents being developed for the platform. Documents that are aimed at meeting basic needs for small businesses, property owners, employers, and more. And more than just creating a DIY platform, Eques stands behind Launch Law and is ready to help when it is time to tackle more complex legal issues. So - there’s just one question to ask, “Are you ready to launch?”
