Legal Career Strategy From a Trusted Expert.⭐

Lawyer Midnight Worries

🌙 How can I focus on my work and business development? This feels impossible.

🌙 I'm worried I'm not progressing the way my firm wants me to.

🌙 How can I stand out from all the competition?

If you nodded your head to any of these questions, I've got you covered.

Learning business success skills can feel daunting when you're short on time.

Some of you may also be in job transitions, where you're looking for new opportunities. This is even more challenging, particularly if the change was unwanted & unexpected.

Your career can be a rollercoaster, so having a strategic wingman like me along who knows the worlds of Big Law and small firms, nonprofits and government, in-house legal work and solo practitioners (and everything in-between) - is a good investment in future-proofing your success.

My approach is strategic & streamlined, using tools loved by my lawyer clients for 20 years.

Let's put your most brilliant foot forward, together.

MEET THE EXPERT

Hi, I'm Marianne —

I help lawyers get what they want.

I know the unique challenges of being a busy lawyer, because I was one too.

After handling high-profile litigation for 14 years, I changed course and became an entrepreneur, coach, and business development expert. I still work in a law firm - now as its Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer - with lawyers I deeply admire.

I'm also a career and job navigation expert.

So if you are a lawyer in the middle of a job transition, or thinking about what might be next in your career, let me help you navigate those waves. No matter how many years you've practiced, what your area of law may be, or who you work for (Big Law or at a small firm, in-house, with the government, at a nonprofit, or transitioning back into the workforce after time away), the tools I use work immediately for everyone.
