Partners wanting to grow their practice with a solid BD strategy.
Managing Partners/Heads of Practice navigating complexity or transition.

why partners work with me
Strategic thinking
Create space for high-level strategic thinking to improve influence and leadership, build sustainable BD practices, and stronger client relationships.
Clarity in complexity
Cut through the noise to find the clarity to decide where to focus your attention rather than having your agenda set for you.
Understanding partnership dynamics
Better understand the political, interpersonal and commercial realities of partnership and how to navigate them.

Connect with me to discuss your coaching needs and to see if I can be of value to you.
I typically offer three, six or twelve, 1 hour session packages.
Sessions usually extend over 3, 6 or 12 months.
The number, length and frequency of sessions are tailored to each client and sessions can fit in around your work and travel schedule.

I can provide a coaching proposal for you to take to your managing partner/firm. Alternatively you can engage me directly.
Coaching sessions are always 100% confidential.
I work with clients globally via Zoom or MS Teams. UK and EU based clients can opt for in-person sessions.

While each engagement is tailored to the individual, outcomes typically include:
Clear, actionable BD strategies and tactics that convert into high-value mandates and sustainable revenue growth.
A shift from being reactive to proactive, creating space for high-level thinking, and improved decision making.
Increased influence, strategic alignment with firm’s strategy, more internal referrals and stronger collaborative relationships.
Improved awareness of leadership style, and what motivates colleagues and team members resulting in engaged and high performing team/s.
For lateral hires and new partners - accelerated integration and transition to the firm, including achieving budget, adapting to the firm culture, and building cross-selling networks early.

I am an internationally recognised coach dedicated to the legal sector, working with partners across the Magic Circle, Am Law 100, and leading independent firms globally.
I specialise in the unique complexities of law firm dynamics and support partners in creating the mental space and strategic systems needed for sustainable growth. My approach moves you beyond reactive ‘busy-ness’ to deliberate, commercially grounded decision making.
I am based in London, and serve as a confidential, independent sounding board for partners across the US, EU, APAC and Middle East.
