Dedicated Services for Mid-Career Solicitors

As a qualified solicitor developing your career you may well be considering your next steps. Is your current role sufficiently rewarding? Should you be considering changing or broadening your specialisms, going “in-house”, or even a career outside of the law?

Perhaps you are happy with the choices you have made so far, but are concerned about your speed of progression to a senior role, acquiring the skills to successfully achieve partnership or a leading in-house position, and whether your existing firm can provide the opportunities you are looking for?

We have a tested career coaching process to help legal professionals make the right career decisions, whether you are looking to change direction or to find new opportunities.  Our focus is on tailoring a programme to suit your needs. This can include:

• A psychometric report on your preferred ways of thinking/behaving and implications on career options
• Mapping your transferable skills and knowledge
• Advice on the career options available to you inside and outside of the legal industry
• Re-packaging what you can offer in your CV and covering letters
• Advice on how to sell yourself well on paper and in meetings
• Interview practice and preparation
• Sourcing job opportunities
• Impartial advice on job offers
• Introductions to recommended recruitment consultants
• Knowing what you are worth and how to optimise your package

Building your own career plan will help you to take control and not be reliant on recruitment firms. The starting point for this, a Career Options and Job Search Consultation, costs just £145. Career coaching can also help in resolving difficulties with work and conflicts with people in your current job, or avoid you making poor career decisions. Many clients tell us that having an experienced sounding board helped them feel more confident in making well-informed decisions about their future.
