About

Built by an operator, not a career consultant.

Ethan O. Khan is Founder & Principal of Operitas Advisory, a business operations and management consulting firm that helps law firm owners and founder-led businesses get out of the day-to-day.


Background

Ethan's perspective comes from ownership, not observation. He founded his first profitable business in 2007 and has operated multiple companies since 2018 — including legal businesses he runs today as Principal & COO of One-Timers, a bar-exam preparation company, and Principal of SRW Trial, a trial services business. He has worked in the legal sector since 2016 and understands its economics, workflows, and management realities from the inside. Earlier in his career, he served as a global account executive for enterprise clients including Google, Twitter, Symantec, HBO, and Red Bull.


Approach

Through Operitas, Ethan works with owners whose businesses have outgrown their operations: processes are inconsistent, responsibilities are unclear, reporting is weak, cost quietly accumulates in places nobody has looked, and too much still depends on the owner. Engagements range from a fixed-fee operations audit to implementation projects and ongoing fractional COO retainers — always with a bias toward implementation. The measure of the work is simple: a business that runs consistently, with useful numbers and clear ownership, without constant owner intervention.


The Firm

Operitas Advisory is a business operations and management consulting firm serving law firms, legal businesses, and founder-led companies. We design and implement the processes, systems, reporting, and accountability that get owners out of the day-to-day — through fixed-fee audits, implementation projects, and fractional COO retainers. The firm serves MD/DC/VA in person and clients nationally through remote engagements. The standard: practical implementation, senior attention on every engagement, and results measured in how the business runs — not in the thickness of a report.
