For far too long, law firms have been tackling the wrong problems.

High-cost, transactional training and broken feedback systems – coupled with a business model that’s squarely focused on the utility of each and every billable hour – have created cultures where lawyers work hard, but detach.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Enter peer advisory coaching. Enter Pearl Legal Advisory.

This evergreen, human-led professional development program – tailored specifically to the demands of large global law firms – allows attorneys at all levels to solve problems around communication, failures, feedback, business development, difficult conversations, executive presence and managing the difficulties of a personal life in the midst of building a career. Our mission is to radically change law firm culture and retention through a disruptive learning model that begins with a series of bespoke small group peer advisory training sessions and then teaches clients to sustain those groups in perpetuity.

High quality training is a recruiting & retention tool

The average large law firm spends thousands of dollars per year per associate on training, much of which is delivered virtually, in a vacuum, with little follow-up or human connection. And while virtual and digital programs have an important place in your repertoire, human-led programming is essential for culture, creative problem solving and development. Our unique, peer-led program empowers the people in your firm to maintain the highest standard of engagement, communication and continued learning.

Pearl Legal Advisory nurtures a culture of generational knowledge sharing where everyone is empowered to grow and support their colleagues. We have found that when everyone is invested, programs are optimized for talent retention and foster robust environments that support innovative thought and problem solving.

Participants in our peer advisory programs report decreased anxiety and increased confidence and happiness at work, while firms engaging in our programs say their people are less likely to leave and are more likely to contribute at the highest level after completing our curriculum.

We’re leaning into human connection and placing the power of training and culture in the hands of people living inside of it.
