Elevate Leadership helps everyone level up, from first-year associates to seasoned partners. We've helped employees at all levels better navigate the unique challenges of the legal industry, resulting in more innovative, higher-performing teams.
The legal industry is at a turning point, as generative AI reshapes how work gets done. Clients expect faster results, more strategic guidance, and greater efficiency. Associates demand better leadership, career development, and work-life balance. Lateral hiring is up. Loyalty is down.
Meanwhile, law firm leaders are being asked to do more with less, without ever being formally trained to lead.
At Elevate, we specialize in leadership development for lawyers, not generic corporate training. Our programs are built for the unique dynamics of law firms: the billable hour model, high-stakes client demands, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) hierarchy of partnership.
We help law firm leaders develop the skills that drive performance, retention, and growth — across practice groups, offices, and generations.
We work with firms to strengthen core leadership capabilities, including:
Our coaching and training programs are rooted in neuroscience, tailored to the legal profession, and delivered by coaches who understand the culture, expectations, and business of law.
Elevate Leadership's workshops provide partners, senior associates, and department heads with practical, science-based strategies designed to help them build stronger teams and navigate challenges. From managing through change, to developing essential leadership skills, these workshops focus on real-world scenarios and offer frameworks that participants can implement immediately to drive positive change within their teams.
Our coaching process starts with an in-depth 360 assessment, including gathering feedback from direct reports, peers, and managers. An Elevate coach will then help you craft a personalized action plan and track progress through 1-on-1 sessions, arranged to fit within your schedule.
