Hone Skills, Competencies + Collaboration

  • LWOW is hands-on training especially for lawyers that hones critical 21st Century professional services skills (leadership, collaboration, cultural competency, project management, intrapreneurship, technology chops, problem-finding and solving, communication, business acumen, networking, empathy, self-awareness, and leadership) in a safe environment.

  • LWOW transforms the way lawyers collaborate with clients, internal colleagues, and direct reports.

  • LWOW accelerates the development of practicable solutions for problems your organization cares about solving internally, externally, and from a corporate social responsibility standpoint.

  • LWOW provides access to diverse, global talent from around the world to ensure hiring fit.

Through LawWithoutWalls, the external lawyers who work at the sponsoring law firm have got a far better understanding of what we want, how they might differentiate themselves, how they might be curious about what we, as an organization, are up to. And what we really find interesting is the flow through to RFP responses and pitches:  I can normally tell even who have been on LawWithoutWalls with us as they have got a much better, much deeper understanding of what we’re all about.

“There’s been a tremendous realization of the importance of legal design and collaboration and working together in different ways. What we’ve seen as a result of the clients attending [Sprint] is that it created real credibility for that type of activity, and with a number of these clients, it has gone beyond. We’re now collaborating with them in their own innovations.”

I was impressed by Eversheds’ vision in sponsoring a team with us in LawWithoutWalls. It’s talking about future generations, community, commitment, and sustainable client relationships, all of which are long-term investments that not every law firm is willing to invest in. LWOW helps me differentiate Eversheds from other international law firms. I also got to know the partners and associate of Eversheds on a personal level, which strengthens the trust between us.

Shaping Future Leaders

  • LWOW transforms the way legal professionals work by fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

  • LWOW transforms how to identify, frame, and solve problems—enhancing your teams’ capacity to lead innovation in complex, cross-disciplinary contexts.

  • LWOW hones the DNA of innovators.

  • LWOW sharpens your capacity to drive cultural and operational transformation within your department, firm, or org.

  • LWOW connects you to a global 3000+ strong community passionate about solving problems at the intersection of law + business + technology.

The hardest thing about LWOW was understanding the problem we were trying to fix. For me, this is such a great takeaway for general professional life—we sometimes try to solve issues that come up, but might be solving the wrong issue because we don’t take the time to really understand what’s the problem and who the solution is for.

“It was immensely interesting, thought-provoking and inspirational. I never considered being a lawyer could be as creative and entrepreneurial. I have recommended my company to continue participating in this programme so that each young lawyer in our group could be energized and inspired by this wonderful program.”
