Our Origin
NE3 stands for Next Evolution Consultancy. The brand is grounded in three pillars:
Experience. Evolutionary. Elite.
We didn’t get here overnight.
NE3 Consultancy was born from risk, resilience, and relentless pursuit of growth. From small-town Minnesota beginnings came a decision to leave comfort behind and chase opportunity with nothing but grit, determination, and a Buick Regal full of belongings.
The first chapter was written in Texas, where at a high-functioning law firm the foundations of NE3’s expertise were forged. Growth was not just observed; it was engineered, helping transform a thriving practice into a powerhouse.
True evolution requires new challenges. The next leap brought NE3’s founder to Southern California, the most competitive legal and technology market in the nation. Here, every lesson was sharpened, every strategy battle tested, and every success earned in an unforgiving environment.
That journey led to the boldest step yet: the inception of NE3 Consultancy. What began as a vision from humble beginnings has grown into a trusted partner for the most elite law firms across the country. Today, NE3 builds and scales high-performing teams, leverages deep expertise in technology, marketing, operations, and delivers strategies designed not just to keep pace with change but to drive it as the leading edge.
What NE3 Does Best:
NE3 isn’t just another agency— in fact, it was created with the idea of being an anti-agency. Agencies hide in an overwhelming amount of data and provide nothing but fluff and strategy, but never fully execute what they preach, or really move the needle for the items they oversee.
Our Current State:
Through every stage of growth the core values have remained constant: humility, relentless work ethic, and collaboration with only the best. The pillars of NE3 are clear. An unwavering dedication to excellence. An ownership mentality where every team member treats a client’s business as if it were their own. And a refusal to let fear of the unknown limit what is once thought impossible from becoming possible. From its origin to its present impact, NE3 Consultancy stands as a true evolution: experienced, efficient, partner; always moving forward.
