About Dominic Grew:
Dominic Grew is the Founder & Owner of Elevate Business Coaching. He founded the firm in 2019 when he saw a need in the marketplace that was not being met. As a former COO and industry outsider, he recognized that lawyers often receive little to no training on how to build, manage, and grow a law firm, yet their professional success is often dependent on mastering those skills. He asked, "How can I help these talented professionals develop the skills necessary to be successful business owners and firm leaders?" The answer was to customize coaching, training, and facilitation services to lawyers (and other highly-skilled professionals) and have them delivered by a team of seasoned, battle-tested business experts.
