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
Inclusive and thought provoking
I really enjoyed the course and this was helped by having Martin Chapman.
He was really engaged with us all and ensured we remained engaged throughout. I took a couple of points away from the course, that I will be working on over the next couple of months. It was very interesting listening to different management styles and experiences from the other delegates.
As the team were so engaged and we were clearly enjoying the course, I wish to course was a little longer.
Useful platform to have interactive discussions on communication and working style
Get to know yourself and those around you
Super informative and enjoyable!
Martin was a brilliant trainer on the working effectively and communication courses – I learned a lot of new techniques that I’m already putting to good use in the work place, and the overall vibe of sessions was great!
Professional Business Communication training
This class is 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. It helped that the class is interactive and each person gets a chance to speak at one time or another. Martin did a great job keeping us engaged. I like the way he explained the topics and I genuinenly walked away with some great pointers regarding communication styles.
Martin was a great trainer!
He made the session interesting and engaging, and gave some really helpful tips for working effectively! Definitely one of the best trainers I’ve come across in sessions like this – would recommend.
