For many years, Ten Percent Legal Recruitment provided specialist legal career coaching to solicitors, barristers, members of the judiciary, overseas lawyers, law students/graduates and other legal professionals. However we no longer offer this service ourselves.
We do not provide recommendations to other career coaching services but if you do a quick Google search you will find a plethora of choice. The reasons for looking for career coaching are below.
