With Affinity Consulting’s expertise, Murphy Sanchez seamlessly transitioned into a fully operational law firm—without the usual headaches. By implementing a powerful practice and document management system, the firm unlocked new levels of efficiency, cut administrative burdens, and created a healthier work-life balance for its attorneys.

Building Murphy Sanchez
When 18 attorneys made the bold decision to leave their previous firm and form Murphy Sanchez, they weren’t just starting fresh—they were racing against the clock. They needed a law firm that was fully operational on day one, with seamless practice and document management systems in place.
There was no room for delays or inefficiencies; every hour of downtime meant lost revenue and disruption for their clients. But building a streamlined, tech-driven firm from scratch while navigating the complexities of a major transition was no small task. To turn their vision into reality, they needed expert guidance and a proven system—fast.
Turning a Vision into Reality
With a bold vision and a tight deadline, Murphy Sanchez turned to Affinity Consulting Group to make their transition seamless. The mission was clear: ensure that, from day one, the firm could operate at full capacity without a hitch. Affinity stepped in as a trusted partner, implementing PracticeMaster and NetDocuments in parallel to create a powerful foundation for the firm.
Affinity worked closely with the attorneys to rebuild essential workflows that aligned with the new firm’s needs. Through firm-wide training, they ensured that every attorney and staff member could hit the ground running with the new systems. But beyond just implementation, Affinity provides ongoing support through the Affinity Optimize program, serving as a dedicated partner for troubleshooting and system enhancements.
While Murphy Sanchez initially envisioned an aggressive rollout, Affinity’s consultative approach helped them take a step back and see the value in a methodical, strategic transition. By launch day, the firm wasn’t just operational—it was thriving, with the efficiency and confidence of a well-established practice, ready to serve clients from day one.
