Outlaws: your pathway out of law

Coaching is a partnership designed to sharpen your thinking on a particular issue, so you can design the best solution for the results you want. You bring the topic you're stuck on and we then work together to get clear on what you actually want, before building a tailored solution that gets you there.

Coaching is not consulting, mentoring or therapy. I won't hand you an off-the-peg plan, tell you which job to take or dig through your distant past. What I will do is help you to see your full potential, deepen your thinking, explore your options and identify your next move with clarity while also holding you accountable through the process.

Coaching can help you to work through any area where you are feeling stuck. Some common topics I work on with clients include:

• You know law isn't for you, but you have no idea what else you could do or would like to do instead
• You worry your skills and experience are only relevant to law and you lack what is needed for other careers
• You know what career move you'd like to make but you have no idea how to make that dream a reality
• You are clear on your new pathway but need some partnership and accountability as you work through the steps to get you into your new role

The common thread is feeling stuck. Whatever's brought you here, we start with where you are now and work out what to do about it.

No. A number of clients I work with aren't sure and want to work through this with someone who has been there. My job is to help them find clarity and identify their options. It's a big question and it is difficult to tackle on your own. Some end up leaving. Others find a way to stay that suits them better. Either way, we work out what's right for you.

Absolutely not. There is no right or wrong level at which to make a change. I have worked with clients from newly qualified through to Partner level and each level brings its own opportunities and considerations. It's my job to help you leverage your strengths and work through any gaps or challenges. Ultimately, what matters most is your happiness and if you feel you want to change career, there is no wrong time to do this, irrespective of your level.

Far more than many realise. Some stay close to law and move into adjacent spaces like compliance, risk, legal tech and legal operations. Many move into other professional services like finance or consulting (as I did). Others go further afield: I've worked with clients on moves into wellness, writing, environmental services and fintech, among others.

There is no limit to what you can move into. It just needs to be planned for, and that is where I help.

Commonly I work with clients for between four and six months, though this can be shorter or longer depending on your circumstances and how much work there is to do. Sessions are an hour long and usually happen every three weeks, which gives you time to act on what we've discussed between them. You also have my support by email and WhatsApp in between whenever you need it.

All sessions are by video call, so we can work together wherever you are.

Every programme is built around what you need, so there's no fixed price. We'll agree the shape and the cost on our discovery call, before you commit to anything.

Book a free discovery call. It's a relaxed, no-obligation conversation about where you are and what you're wrestling with, and a chance to see whether working together feels right. If it does, we'll agree the shape of the programme from there.
