Curt Hovey Retires after 17 Years with Walker Clark
With sadness but also with great appreciation and immense admiration, we announce that Curt Hovey is retiring from his position as a Senior Consultant.
Curt is retiring after 17 years on our team. For most of this time, he administered our surveys, researched and wrote regional newsletters, and assisted in operational consultations with our clients. He was a major contributor to the international success of Walker Clark LLC and -- much more importantly -- to the sustainable success of many of our clients.
The good news is that Curt will remain available in an advisory role when needed.
On behalf of his colleagues, professional friends, and our clients, we wish Curt "fair winds and following seas."

Managing Principal
building sustainable performance through quality management
In most legal services organizations, the biggest overlooked obstacle to better performance is not overly cost-sensitive and demanding clients nor highly-paid lawyers and staff, but the lack of effective quality assurance systems in day-to-day operations.
Pioneers in the introduction of quality management in legal services organizations worldwide, Walker Clark LLC offers a highly cost-effective hybrid consulting service to help law firms and in-house counsel make substantial and sustainable improvements in performance (and, for law firms, profitability) through quality management.
Your law firm needs more than a generic client satisfaction survey.
There is no client relations activity that will produce a greater return on investment for a law firm than systematic client feedback.
But many law firms rely on "catch as catch can" client feedback like generic client satisfaction surveys or inconsistent efforts to obtain client feedback at the end of a matter.
Are you confident that your law firm can answer three critical question about how well you meet your clients expectations, especially during the fast-moving business and professional enviroments in which you practice law:
- What is most important to your clients in the legal services that you deliver?
- How well is your firm meeting your clients' most important needs and expectations?
- How does your performance compare to that of your competitors?
