n an industry often known for stress, burnout, and outdated systems, Best Era is changing the game. We’re on a mission to help lawyers and legal entrepreneurs reclaim their time, build thriving practices, and lead with clarity. Founded by attorneys who’ve been in the trenches, Best Era isn’t theory—it’s a proven blueprint for building a law firm and a life that actually works.

Why “Best Era”?

The name says it all: we believe this can be the best era of your life and career. Too many lawyers operate in survival mode—overloaded calendars, zero boundaries, and a nagging sense of “is this all there is?” We exist to flip that script. Best Era offers tools, coaching, community, and inspiration to help lawyers step into sustainable success—on their own terms.

What We Do

At its core, Best Era is about operational clarity and purpose-driven growth. We strive to be the best law firm consultants.  We provide:

  • Planning Systems – Our signature 13-Week Lawyer Planner helps busy professionals prioritize their time, eliminate distractions, and make space for what matters most—without burning out.

  • Business Consulting – From law firm startup strategy to team management, we work with solo attorneys and firms to design smart, scalable operations.

  • Workshops & Speaking – Whether you’re at a bar association retreat or leading an internal legal team, our founder Ryan McKeen delivers practical, energizing presentations on law firm finance, marketing, and mindset.

  • Vision Building – We help law firm leaders define their 3- to 5-year vision and reverse-engineer the steps to get there. That includes profit goals, staffing structure, niche specialization, and personal wellness goals.

The Best Era Difference

We’re not your typical legal consulting brand. There’s no cookie-cutter advice here. Instead, we blend hard-won experience with a refreshing, modern perspective. You’ll find us referencing Patagonia, digital minimalism, and psychological safety just as often as we talk about billables and revenue. It’s this human-first approach that sets us apart.

Best Era is not just for founders who want to grow big—it’s also for those who want to grow better. Maybe your dream firm is $500K/year with Fridays off. Or maybe it’s a $9M powerhouse that reshapes your state’s legal landscape. We meet you where you are, and help you walk the path from stuck to strategic.

Who It’s For

If you’re:

  • A solo attorney who wants to stop drowning in admin

  • A partner looking to lead with clarity and confidence

  • A legal operations pro trying to wrangle chaos into systems

  • Or just a lawyer who wants to enjoy practicing again

…then you’re in the right place.
