Chief Operating Officer COO
Job Description
ABOUT THE GALVAN LAW FIRM
The Galvan Law Firm is a growing personal injury practice based in Sugar Land, TX. We fight for our clients every step of the way, and we hold ourselves to the highest standard of service, accountability, and results. As we scale, we’re building the operational infrastructure to match our ambition.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a hands-on, data-driven Chief Operating Officer to run the day-to-day operations of the firm. You’ll work directly alongside firm leadership to integrate departments, build scalable systems, and make sure every part of the business is performing at its best. This is the role that lets our attorneys focus on the law while you run the business.
The right person for this role is someone who lives and breathes operational efficiency — someone who sees data not as a reporting task, but as the lens through which every decision gets made.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Operations & Process Management
• Oversee day-to-day operations across all departments — intake, pre-litigation, litigation, and
marketing
• Design, implement, and continuously improve firm-wide workflows, SOPs, and quality control
processes
• Conduct regular audits of all workflows and SOPs; identify gaps and lead training to close them
• Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and drive initiatives to resolve them
• Ensure accurate and up-to-date case management across all tracking systems
Data & Performance Management
• Champion a data-first culture — collect, track, and apply performance data to daily operational
decisions
• Build and maintain dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into firm performance
• Define and monitor KPIs across every department; hold teams accountable to results
• Use data to identify trends, forecast challenges, and surface opportunities before they become
problems
• Prepare and present weekly and monthly performance reports to firm principals
People & Culture
• Lead training and performance management for non-attorney staff
• Build a culture of accountability, hospitality, and client dedication consistent with firm core values
• Develop career pathways and professional development programs for all support staff
Financial Oversight
• Collaborate with firm ownership on budgeting, forecasting, and expense management
• Monitor key financial metrics including cost per case, revenue per attorney, and operational
overhead
• Identify opportunities to improve profitability without compromising client outcomes
Client Experience
• Champion a client-first culture across all touchpoints, from first contact through case resolution
• Implement systems to ensure consistent client communication, timely follow-up, and proactive
expectation-setting
• Monitor and respond to client feedback and satisfaction metrics
Technology & Systems
• Oversee the firm’s case management software, reporting tools, and internal technology stack
• Evaluate and implement new tools that improve productivity, communication, and case tracking
• Ensure data integrity across all platforms and trackers
Leadership & Strategy
• Serve as a key strategic partner to firm principals, translating goals into actionable operational
plans
• Integrate departments to eliminate silos and improve collaboration, client service, and case
outcomes
• Lead the firm’s growth initiatives — building the infrastructure to scale headcount, caseload, and
revenue without sacrificing quality
• Drive business development in coordination with firm leadership, including referral relationships and community presence
• Lead weekly and monthly operational meetings with department managers
• Continuously assess organizational structure and recommend changes as the firm scales
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• 5+ years of operations leadership experience, preferably in a law firm, healthcare, or high-volume
professional services environment
• Genuinely data-driven — you don’t just report numbers, you apply them to make better decisions
every day
• Proven track record of building, integrating, and scaling teams and processes
• Strong understanding of personal injury or legal industry workflows is a significant plus
• Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills
• Proficiency with legal case management software and Microsoft Office/365
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or JD a plus but not required
COMPENSATION
$150,000
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. We’re serious about paying the right person the right number.
WHAT WE OFFER
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Health benefits
• A defining leadership role in a rapidly growing PI firm
