Soft Skills Training Courses for Lawyers
Our training courses for lawyers are designed for specific levels of lawyer. The courses range from partner courses to senior associates, associates and trainees. Each course is designed to help lawyers reflect and improve on how they do their work.
Participants
Each course is tailored to suit the level of the participants. So, for example, our delegation skills for lawyers training course is tailored for Partners, and is different from the delegation course delivered for Associates. The participants are engaged and involved right from the start. Just check out our reviews to see what lawyers and participants say about our courses.
Duration
The duration of each course is tailored to your needs. A training course can be anything from 60 minutes to three hours long. Our experience tells us that the longer we make a course, the less chance we have for lawyers to attend. It’s generally a fact of working with law firms, so we tailor the duration to what you think is right for your firm.
Agenda
The specific agenda for each course is tailored to the participants’ needs. We will propose an outline agenda and then discuss this with you to explore where you want to focus. This means you get the course you need for your lawyers. You can see more details of the specific course agendas in the course links below.
Outcomes
All of our courses for lawyers result in participants leaving with specific actions on the subject. We explore the subject, illustrate it with examples, apply it to the participants’ context and discuss the impact. Take a look at the reviews for participants’ and clients’ feedback.
Pre-workshop
Whether we do any pre-workshop activity depends on what you think the lawyers will engage with. We can offer a variety of options, from our work style model questionnaire, to our pre-workshop questions which help us to design the content of a course.
Post workshop
Each participant receives a pdf copy of the presentation used in the training, plus email access to the trainer for follow up questions. There is also the option for specific feedback and the possibility of coaching follow up.
Client Reviews
Here are a couple of recent client reviews. In both cases we designed specific training sessions tailored to their needs.
Martin has delivered a couple of communication based training sessions for our teams now and the personality at work session for a large group of senior solicitors as part of their annual development conference – all sessions have been fantastic! Each workshop has been tailored according to our needs and the feedback has been excellent. Helen
Martin produced and provided an absolutely excellent session for our new Partner intake a few weeks ago. It focused on the financial fundamentals that new Partners would need to know as they move into the Partner role. The half day session received excellent feedback from all attendees – 9 in total. All the participants really liked Martin’s style and found him really knowledgeable and engaging. They found the session itself extremely useful. They said the content was interesting, relevant, informative and delivery was well paced. Martin himself was really good to deal with. We wanted a number of elements of the session bespoke for our particular needs and he was more than happy to do so. MW

In-person or virtual
Each one of our courses for lawyers can be delivered in-person, virtually, or hybrid. Some subjects lend themselves to having more impact when delivered in-person, such as presentation skills. But virtual presentations skills training works better when delivered virtually.
Number of Participants
Groups of twelve participants works well as it is fairly cost efficient and allows each person to interact with the trainer. But if you need larger groups, we can and do accommodate this. We’ve successfully trained groups of up to 100 and 150 participants.
Tailoring the training to your needs
To make sure your training is right for your firm, we tailor our course for lawyers to the needs of your firm and your lawyers. We do this through conversations to tailor the case studies and examples used, as well as the content and focus of the training agenda.

Reviews
Professional Business Communication Training
The session provided genuinely helpful tips on how to engage with different personality types and offered a deeper understanding of effective communication in a corporate environment. I walked away with some excellent tools and practical pointers to put into practice. The mix of real-life examples and scenario-based exercises really made us reflect on our own communication styles. It was the most engaging and helpful training session I’ve attended. Very engaging and informative, no reading off slides, and the time flew by.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their client communication skills.
A truly inclusive, insightful, and empowering training
I recently attended the Working Effectively at Clifford Chance training session and found it to be an incredibly valuable and uplifting experience. One of the standout aspects was the smaller group size, which created a more inclusive environment. Everyone had the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and genuinely included in the discussions.
The session encouraged open dialogue, and participants were free to express their views and share personal experiences without hesitation. This openness was largely thanks to Martin, who facilitated the session with warmth, empathy, and professionalism. Martin fostered a safe and supportive space where people felt comfortable being honest and reflective, which made the session not only informative but also deeply engaging.
Overall, the training was a brilliant example of how thoughtful facilitation and a well-structured format can empower individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Highly recommended!
Five-star training!
I attended Martin’s session on working effectively in the workplace and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people he is training- he was very interactive throughout, delivered super helpful takeaways (especially relevant in professional settings) and also extended candid advice on how to keep up with an incredibly fast-paced and often times challenging career environment. I highly, highly recommend Martin’s sessions if you have the opportunity to attend them, I am confident you will leave the room with more wisdom.
Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership
The Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership was very well received. Participants found the sessions engaging, practical, and highly beneficial, with appreciation expressed for the instructor’s time, travel, and expertise.
The interactive discussions and exercises were effective in applying leadership and communication concepts to real shipboard situations. Several attendees noted they could use the material to address challenges with difficult crew members.
Overall, this training was viewed as excellent, relevant, and valuable in enhancing leadership effectiveness and promoting stronger communication across the fleet.
Presenting with Impact Virtually
I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.
