Dave Maxfield

Dave Maxfield is an attorney, law professor, and fitness enthusiast. A self-described “Systems Geek,” Dave became obsessed years ago with how law firms might use the Systems Thinking and Lean methods and technologies pioneered by the manufacturing world to run more profitable businesses. In 2018, with co-author Larry Port, Dave wrote the ABA top-selling book, THE LEAN LAW FIRM, a manual for translating lean and agile methods into a simple, month-by-month template that law firms can use to become more profitable.

In 2022, after becoming intrigued by the possibilities of applying Systems Thinking to human health and fitness, Dave turned his interest in systems thinking and experience as a former collegiate athlete to the human body, publishing UP YOUR HRV! Improving the NorthStar Metric of Your Health & Fitness. (Learn more at www.UpYourHRV.com).

Dave lives, practices, teaches, and writes in Columbia, South Carolina.
