The BigLaw Academy Cohort includes weekly group coaching sessions with Gordon (coach) where you can ask him questions, get guidance and receive feedback. You’ll also have access to a private group to engage with other ambitious members.

Your access starts from the date of your enrolment. You’ll immediately get access to the full job search framework, tools and community. The weekly live coaching sessions include a dynamic mix of aspiring lawyers which creates great opportunities to learn from others and get fresh perspectives as you work through the tools and your career goals.

Each week, the cohort meets for a live group session covering one core module of the curriculum — from CV and profile building in the early weeks, through application strategy, cover letters, and online assessments, to assessment centres and partner interviews in the later weeks.

Between sessions, you will complete structured application tasks and exercises, and submit work for feedback where applicable. You should expect to commit approximately 3–5 hours per week to get the most out of the programme.

Both. The live group sessions cover the core curriculum content and include group discussion, Q&A, and shared learning from the cohort's collective experience. In addition, you will receive personalised feedback on your own applications, cover letters, and interview technique — because generic advice only gets you so far. The combination of group learning and individual feedback is what makes this programme significantly more effective than a course or a subscription service.

We understand that life can sometimes get in the way, and we appreciate that our students have busy schedules. However, please note that we do not reschedule or switch the session time to accommodate individual absences — this ensures fairness and consistency for all members of the cohort.

If you are unable to attend a particular session, a full recording of the session will be made available to you so you can catch up in your own time and ensure you do not miss any of the content covered. We encourage all students to review the recording promptly and bring any follow-up questions to the next session or reach out directly.

To get the most out of the programme, we strongly recommend attending live sessions wherever possible, as the group discussion and real-time interaction are a key part of the learning experience.

Each cohort is deliberately kept small — a maximum of 12 students — to ensure that every participant receives meaningful attention and personalised feedback throughout the programme. This is not a large online course with hundreds of passive viewers. It is a focused, high-accountability group where your progress is tracked and your work is seen.

The 1-to-1 BigLaw Academy™ is our most personalised offering — every session is tailored entirely to you, and you receive Gordon's undivided attention throughout.

The BigLaw Academy Cohort covers the same core curriculum and delivers the same structured framework, but in a cohort setting where you also benefit from the shared experience and peer accountability of other serious applicants.

The group format is offered at a lower price point to make the BigLaw Academy™ accessible to more students, while maintaining the quality of feedback and materials.

Your access to the session recordings and programme materials does not expire — you can revisit them at any time after the cohort concludes. In addition, all graduates are invited to join the BigLaw Academy Cohort alumni community, where you can continue to ask questions, share updates, and support one another through the application process. Gordon also offers a post-programme catch-up call to all graduates to review your progress and discuss next steps.
