How Does My Coaching Work?

  • All of my coaching sessions and programmes are delivered exclusively by me.

    I provide tailored 1:1 coaching sessions via Google Meet / Zoom. For my tailored coaching programmes (e.g. BigLaw Academy), you will get comprehensive materials and exclusive resources, as well as learn my structured approach to breaking down the entire recruitment process at elite law firms.

    I will give you grounded, practical no BS feedback.

  • I’ve been offering career advice to tens of thousands of aspiring lawyers since 2018, and having 1:1 coaching calls with hundreds of students from 30+ countries since I’ve started my coaching programmes.

    As a dual-qualified M&A lawyer, an ex-Baker McKenzie associate and international student from Cambridge, I truly understand the pressures you face trying to establish a legal career in competitive legal markets like UK, Dubai, Singapore and Hong Kong. I’m confident that I can help you build a cohesive narrative and pitch your unique selling point to recruiters to build your dream legal career.

  • Absolutely. I do work with NQs, junior associates and in-house lawyers to have a deep-dive review of their CV and assist them with interview preparation.

  • Absolutely. I understand that the legal profession is hyper competitive these days, and many parents are worried that their children may make a wrong career move or don't have the opportunities they deserve. I'm happy to have a free coaching call with you if that helps.
