How We Help

We know what it takes to thrive as women in the legal profession. Our services are grounded in firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the real pressures women in law face.

If you’re ready to connect with others who truly get it, we’d love to have you join us — either in-person or virtually.

  • We deliver engaging, practical programming that resonates because we’ve been there, and we speak your language. We’ve felt the pressure, the burnout, the self-doubt—and the moments of pride, progress, and purpose that make it all worth it. That’s why our presentations and workshops are built around one central idea: we get it.

    Whether it’s a high-energy keynote or an interactive workshop, we tailor every session to meet the needs of your group—associates, partners, or firm professionals. The result? Relevant insights, real talk, and practical tools that create lasting impact.

    We cover key topics Including:

    • Resilience and Well-Being in High-Stress Environments
      Learn real strategies for protecting your energy, managing pressure, and bouncing back when it counts.

    • Confidence and Visibility
      Strengthen your personal brand, increase your impact, and gain recognition in your practice.

    • Self-Awareness and Connection
      Deepen your understanding of how you show up, and build the relationships that support and sustain your growth.

    • Work-Life Integration and Sustainable Success
      Discover mindset shifts and actionable tools to create balance without compromising ambition.

    • Practice Management
      Streamline systems, planning, and prioritization with straightforward strategies from our Insider’s Guide.

  • Some of the most meaningful growth happens in focused, honest conversations through one-on-one coaching or in a small, trusted group. That’s why we offer both individual and cohort-based programs for women in law who are ready to take the next step.

    You might be navigating partnership, building a book of business, or rethinking what success looks like. Wherever you are, we help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

    Our coaching often builds on the momentum of a keynote or workshop, providing opportunity to reflect, apply insights, and tackle real-world challenges with expert guidance. It’s not just about learning; it’s about creating lasting impact.

    Joan brings more than 30 years of experience practicing law, so she understands the pressure, politics, and pace of legal practice from the inside.

    Sisters in Law brings women together to connect, collaborate, and grow; both personally and professionally. Whether you’re tackling a specific challenge or just need space to think out loud - our community is here for you!

    That’s why we’ve made connection, not just content, the foundation of what we do.

    It’s a dialogue, not a download, because the most meaningful growth comes through real conversation and connection.

    Power Block sessions are one way we make that happen. These short, high-impact gatherings offer expert insights and real-time peer support without overloading your calendar. They’re designed to spark meaningful conversation, create space for shared insight, and build authentic relationships.

    Power Blocks are just the beginning. Our community also includes:

    Peer Circles and Cohorts: Small groups for ongoing connection and growth.

    Live and Virtual Conversations: Opportunities to build relationships beyond the firm.

    Internal Networks: Co-created spaces that reflect your firm’s unique culture and strengthen connection among women lawyers.

    At Sisters in Law, connection is a strategy for growth. Join us in building a network where women support each other, share real solutions, and succeed together.
