What Our Clients Say
“As a profession, statistics show we are a cynical and thin-skinned bunch. As such we look at coaches with a generous dose of doubt, married with an abject fear of the constructive criticism that will surely result. Undaunted, Gary approaches these lawyer biases and fears personally, positively, professionally, and politely with determination. He becomes your alter ego, the constant voice in your ear, coaxing you along a road that you know you should travel… Partner with Gary if you want to get to your destination in less time and with less effort. I can say this counting Gary as a partner for over 10 years, in various capacities and successful pursuits. Gary is no nonsense with clear, reasonable and attainable approaches to help you realize your vision and goals.”
"Gary Mitchell has a vast toolkit of knowledge when it comes to the business of running a law firm. I have worked with him over the past year and a half. He has supported me with marketing, business development, HR. He has coached me and many of my team members including lawyers and staff. He continues to work with my office manager providing her support in the areas of HR and leadership and has provided business development, practice management and on-boarding coaching for my lawyers. Recently we were named Toronto’s fastest growing law firm in the Globe and Mails’ top 400 Fastest Growing Canadian companies, and Gary was critical in helping with the change management that was involved in that growth."
"Gary is an invaluable help to anyone thinking of starting their own law practice. The one time I did not follow Gary’s advise, I ended up wasting thousands of dollars unnecessarily. Invest in Gary and you will always be thankful for his thoughtful tips!"
"If you’re reading this testimonial, you probably don’t know Gary Mitchell the way I know him. About five years ago, I stumbled across his book on rainmaking online and decided to read it. I was most impressed. That then led me to reach out to him and discuss the role that he could play in my law firm. I then hired Gary to coach various staff members who went on to become exceptionally productive, increased our firm revenues and, most importantly, dramatically improved their happiness quotient at work. I have since consulted with Gary on many occasions and will continue to do so. For small to medium size firms who cannot afford to have an in-house productivity specialist on payroll, Gary is your man."
"Several years ago when I was a non-equity partner in our Toronto office I worked with Gary Mitchell in his Business Development coaching program. Working with Gary helped me change my mindset around business development and the results followed. I am now our firm’s Office Management Partner in Calgary. The BD coaching certainly helped to put me on a path to building my practice and succeeding as a leader. Thanks Gary!"
"Gary’s program really delivers. I was skeptical of working with a coach, but armed with Gary’s skillful application of practical business principles to my own practice, I am now focused, experiencing great results, and excited about the future. I have recommended Gary’s program to numerous colleagues."
"With a good start under my belt, I realized I needed guidance on a path forward in my career and to partnership. Coaching helped me focus on loWe hired Gary as our business coach during our law firm’s first year in business. His advice, guidance and access to other professionals in the legal field has been a huge asset to the growth of our new firm. He has helped us institute systems, establish our brand and build a resource network. His services are highly recommended to any start-up law firm."
"I was introduced to Gary Mitchell by one of our other OMPs who had worked with him. During the course of having lunch with Gary, it became apparent to me that not only could some of our lawyers in the Vancouver office benefit from coaching, I could too. I greatly benefited from Gary’s practical approach and guidance which helped me become more organized, efficient, and effective as a lawyer and a part of management, and more effective with marketing and business development. For anyone looking to grow their practice manage their firm, or juggle both, I highly recommend Gary Mitchell."
"Working with Gary has enabled us to change the way we practice law. He has opened our eyes to new possibilities in law firm management, helped us define our goals and put us on a plan to accomplish them. He was a great help in assisting us in hiring a new employee- right from drafting the online ad to interviewing the candidates. He has connected us with other key professionals to assist us with practical firm management, fee structures and client management. Gary has definitely helped us work towards building the business and life that we have been dreaming of. "

Frequently Asked Questions
This is the #1 thing every successful lawyer tells me.
And it's exactly WHY you need this.
You don't have time because you're doing $50/hour work when you should be focused on a $700/hour strategy.
The OnTrac® Coach process is designed to GIVE you time back.
Evelyn Ackah, Founder and Managing Partner of Ackah Business Immigration Law, said, "I sought out the specialized business development expertise of Gary Mitchell as I began my fifth year of Ackah Business Immigration Law. After working at national law firms in Toronto and Calgary as an Associate and then Partner, I thought I knew how to continue to build my corporate immigration practice – but it turns out I needed Gary Mitchell to help take my law firm to the next level.”
Most clients free up 15 hours or more per week within the first 90 days.
Think about that ROI.
Smart concern.
That's why we implement it gradually. Systematically.
We don't blow up what's working. We optimize it.
Kevin Plowman from Miller Thomson said OnTrac® helped him grow his practice while "building his team" - better client service, not worse.
Quality goes UP, not down, when you have proper systems.
Most business consultants lack an understanding of the law firm industry.
They try to apply generic business principles to a specialized profession.
That's like asking a cardiologist to perform brain surgery.
I've spent 20 years working EXCLUSIVELY with lawyers.
I understand your ethics rules. Your client relationships. Your operational complexity.
Michael Thackray from Dentons worked with me for over 10 years because I get the legal profession in a way most coaches never will. These are his words, “As a profession, statistics show we are a cynical and thin-skinned bunch. As such, we view coaches with a generous dose of doubt, accompanied by an abject fear of the constructive criticism that will surely result. Undaunted, Gary approaches these lawyer biases and fears personally, positively, professionally, and politely with determination. He becomes your alter ego, the constant voice in your ear, coaxing you along a road that you know you should travel… Partner with Gary to get to your destination in less time and with less effort. I can say this, having counted Gary as a partner for over 10 years, in various capacities and successful pursuits. Gary is no-nonsense with clear, reasonable and attainable approaches to help you realize your vision and goals.”
Let's do the math...
If you're billing at $400/hour and I save you 15 hours per week, that's $6,000 in weekly capacity.
$6,000 x 50 weeks = $300,000 in annual capacity.
The program pays for itself in about 8 weeks.
Everything after that is pure profit.
Plus...
What's it costing you to stay stuck?
Missed opportunities. Burnout. Health issues. Family time.
The real question isn't whether you can afford this.
It's whether you can afford NOT to do it.
Every lawyer thinks their practice is special.
And in some ways, it is.
But the fundamentals of running a profitable, scalable law firm are the same whether you do family law or corporate M&A.
Greg McIlwain, office managing partner of McMillan Calgary, was initially skeptical. Now he says my "practical approach" helped him "clarify priorities and lead with greater confidence."
The OnTrac® Coach Framework is customizable. Not cookie-cutter.
We adapt the system to YOUR firm. Not the other way around.
Here's what's formulaic:
Working 60+ hours a week.
Being the bottleneck in every decision.
Having your income tied directly to your billable hours.
That's the formula most lawyers follow.
And it sucks.
What I provide is a STRUCTURE that creates FREEDOM.
Evelyn Ackah from Calgary thought she knew how to grow her immigration practice. Turns out she needed my help to take it "to the next level."
Structure doesn't limit creativity. It enables it.
