Jordan Ostroff is an attorney, law firm owner, entrepreneur, and Practice Advisor who helps law firm owners build smarter, more sustainable businesses that don’t depend on them for everything.
Jordan learned many of those lessons the expensive way. After starting his own firm in 2015, he went from working 60 to 70 hours a week and carrying significant firm debt to building a multi-attorney, multimillion-dollar practice that could operate without him at the center of every decision. At one point, that freedom allowed Jordan and his family to take a 13-month road trip across the country while the firm continued to run.
Today, Jordan helps owners make that same shift from being the firm’s chief firefighter to becoming its CEO. His coaching focuses on leadership, client experience, marketing, technology, and practical systems that give teams greater ownership and owners more freedom.
For Jordan, that freedom is the point. His Great Life includes time with his wife, Heather, and son, Benji, traveling, sharing good meals with friends, watching sports, playing disc golf in as many states as possible, and enjoying wonderfully terrible horror movies.
Big Ideas Your Audience Can Actually Use
Jordan Ostroff brings the perspective of a trial attorney, law firm owner, entrepreneur, author, and Practice Advisor to conversations about leadership, growth, client experience, marketing, and technology.
After handling more than 10,000 cases as a prosecutor, Jordan went on to build his own multi-attorney, multimillion-dollar firm. Along the way, he learned firsthand that being a great lawyer and building a great business require very different skills. Today, he brings those lessons to the stage with humor, candor, and a focus on giving audiences ideas they can put to work right away.
Jordan is available for keynotes, conferences, workshops, panels, webinars, podcasts, and other events for attorneys, business owners, executives, professional-service firms, and industry organizations.
Featured Speaking Topics
From Lawyer to CEO: Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Own Firm
When every important decision comes back to the owner, growth eventually hits a ceiling. Jordan shows firm owners how to identify what truly requires their involvement, create clearer decision-making systems, develop leaders, and build accountability so the firm can move forward without the owner being the answer to every question.
AI for Law Firms: From Hype to Practical Advantage
AI is moving quickly, but law firm owners don’t need another conversation about everything it might someday do. Jordan focuses on where AI can create practical value now, from automating repetitive work and improving internal processes to helping teams work smarter. He helps attorneys evaluate opportunities, ask better questions, and use AI intentionally rather than adopting technology simply because it’s new.
The Client Journey Is Your Growth Strategy
More marketing won’t fix a client experience that loses opportunities along the way. Jordan shows firms how to identify slow response times, inconsistent follow-up, poor handoffs, and other friction points, then use better processes and technology to create an experience that turns more of the right prospects into clients.
Practical, Candid, and Never Just Theory
Jordan’s lessons come from trying cases, building a firm, making expensive mistakes, managing people, improving marketing and intake, experimenting with technology, and ultimately creating a business that no longer requires his constant presence.
Whether he’s delivering a keynote, leading a workshop, joining a panel, or sitting down for a podcast, Jordan’s goal is simple: give people useful ideas they can take back to work and put into practice.
Speaking topics can be tailored to the audience, industry, event format, and desired outcomes.
