Professional Advisors for ease of transition

Whether a lawyer is making a conscious decision to work as a contractor or is seeking support and guidance in the search for alternative career opportunities, the ItsMyLaw Coaching & Career Strategy Advisory Service is ideally placed to ensure that change is made as seamless as possible.

Coaching and Career Strategy Advisory Services

The current economic climate has led to a wholesale structural change in many firms, with a larger number of lawyers being made redundant than ever before and with increased emphasis for employers on the most effective means for retaining and developing key talent.

Itsmylaw has put together a highly qualified team with extensive coaching, mentoring and training experience within the legal sector to work with employers in the professional development of their people, with particular emphasis on points of transition, including assisting, through the Career Strategy Advisory service, those who are having to leave their firms through redundancy.

The Coaching service works with lawyers and senior managers to develop their skills, particularly at key points of career transition or change. The use of coaching in professional development is a highly effective way for employers to maximise the effectiveness and enhance the performance of their lawyers and employees, and is seen as an increasingly important management tool.

Key services include:

• Executive coaching
• Partner transition coaching
• Associate transition coaching
• Business and client relationship and skills development

The Career Strategy Advisory service works with partners and associates leaving their firm through redundancy or who are otherwise reviewing their career options. It provides an alternative to the major outplacement organisations which, whilst providing a high calibre service to professionals across the spectrum of business, are, by virtue of their breadth of market coverage, unlikely to possess the in-depth sector specialism that a consultancy focused on a single profession can deploy. Itsmylaw can demonstrate unparalleled specialist knowledge of the legal market alongside accomplished coaching ability; providing lawyers with a grounded, directed, practical service, tailor-made to their particular requirements and assisting them in examining and actioning options and clarifying objectives at a time of major career transition.

Key services include:

• Career options advice
• CV preparation and presentational skills
• Psychometric profiling
• Full introduction to contractor services
• Fast track networking
• Senior level HR networking
• Personal finance management consultation
• On-line, personalised market up dates
