What we do

While law schools prepare attorneys to practice
law, they don't typically prepare them for the business of law. To address this need, Carolyn Sklar partners with attorneys and firms to provide coaching programs tailored specifically to the needs of the individual attorney, practice group and/or firm.

Through her coaching program, Carolyn partners
with motivated attorneys to build on existing strengths and bridge performance gaps. The coaching relationship offers attorneys a forum for acquiring the knowledge, practical steps, support and accountability attorneys need to become more effective at:

• building client relationships
• generating new business
• client relationship management
• leadership

Whether she is helping established attorneys
leverage their vast array of contacts, assisting associates with the development of their professional network, or coaching mid-level partners through the challenges of building a sustainable and thriving practice, Carolyn's goal is the same: to equip the attorney with the skills and processes necessary to build and maintain successful business relationships. This not only helps attorneys become better "rainmakers," it also strengthens attorney retention for the firm as coached attorneys are able to identify and use their strengths more strategically in their practices and thus achieve a higher level of performance and professional satisfaction.

or broader talent development program would be of value to your firm or your practice, contact us at attorneycoach@sklarandassociates.com.
