Coaching for Lawyers

The main difference between law firms is increasingly their people and how they are managed. Lawyers can benefit from coaching in the same way as any other executive. However, they are in some ways a special case.

The qualities that make a good lawyer are not necessarily those that make a good manager. They may even get in the way, yet most lawyers will not become a full time manager but continue to practice at the same time. They therefore have to use both sets of qualities in parallel.

And of course managing lawyers has been likened to herding cats.

We can work with you on a one to one basis to smooth the transition from fee earner to partner, to cope with the challenges of being managing partner, or to deal with day to day issues of delegation and supervision.

Although awaiting accreditation for CPD by the SRA, coaching can still count towards your CPD total and as management training for the purposes of Rule 5.
