FAQ

How is this different from the webinars we already host?

A typical webinar is one-way: broad information for a passive audience. I build my programs around peer exchange and hands-on practice, with your attorneys acting as seasoned guides instead of lecturers. With this approach, clients leave feeling equipped and motivated, and your attorneys show up as the trusted, savvy collaborators who understand what clients need.

Can the programs offer CLE credit?

Yes, my programs are typically eligible. The host firm manages accreditation, and support is available as needed.

What’s the format?

We’ll determine the right format based on your goals, client needs, and topics. You can start with a single hour-long client session or build towards a multi-part bootcamp. Virtual and in-person options available.
