Expert coaching

We understand that as lawyers, we’re not trained to take risks. We’re trained to conform. We work within the security and structure of the corporate safety net. We know that breaking free of those shackles and going it alone can be a daunting prospect. ​

So, we’re here to support you in the transition, providing expert legal coaching and running a host of mentoring and development events to ensure you keep growing. These include training sessions that focus on you not as a lawyer, but as a businessperson, helping you with everything from planning to pricing.

• Pricing workshops and tools
• The opportunity to join our Vanguard group for scaling up your business
• The opportunity to join our Client Acquisition team to win bigger clients
• Business development speaker events
• Money management including tax year-end and best practice from accountants
• Get Abstract subscription

We work with you to set your own targets and then help you to achieve them. But these are your targets and your targets alone. At gunnercooke, we do not set targets for our lawyers. Self-discipline is essential. We give you the support you need. The rest is up to you.
