Lawyer coaching Lawyers
This is a different kind of role - likely not one you’ve seen before. You will move away from fee-earning practice and focus on the development, mentoring and progression of associates within the Corporate group at a leading law firm.
No coaching or HR experience is required. You just need to be a current or recently practising associate at a law firm
Tired of the late nights and relentless billing targets?
What if you could reclaim your time, stay within a top-tier global law firm, and focus on developing and mentoring the next generation of lawyers?
Our client, an elite NY-headquartered law firm, is seeking a transactional associate to take on a dedicated coaching and career development role.
This is an opportunity to step away from fee-earning practice and move into a people-focused position within the firm’s Global Professional Development function.
To give you a feel - some of the responsibilities will include:
• Supporting associate development, performance reviews, and career progression
• Working with partners to ensure consistent developmental feedback
• Collaborating with staffing teams on matter allocation aligned to development needs
• Supporting onboarding, training, and professional development programmes
• Helping strengthen the cohesion and effectiveness of practice groups
This is a chance to make a real impact on the development of associates in the London Corporate Group - shaping careers and strengthening the wider practice.
It will suit a transactional associate looking to move into a coaching-led, people-focused role while staying closely connected to a top-tier legal environment.
