As Lawyers Who Coach Lawyers
Your World Is Ours

We help our clients maximise their chances of obtaining a Judicial Appointment or Silk and master their stress response and recovery.

JAT was founded in 2009 by two lawyers with over forty years experience between them. Since then we have advised and coached over a thousand lawyers and judges in the United Kingdom, United States and other jurisdictions working with Heads of Chambers, Managing Partners and judicial applicants for every tier of the judiciary right up to the Supreme Court.

Most our clients are referrals and for this we reason rarely advertise our services.

Our track record over 15 years includes successfully assisting

• Over 500 clients to secure a judicial appointment
• 32 clients secure appointment as a full-time High Court Judge.
• 8 clients secure appointment as a judge of the Court of Appeal.
• Over 160 clients attain the award of Queen's / King's Counsel.
• Over 200 clients transform their stress response and recovery.

Lawyers Who Advise Lawyers and Judges

As experienced lawyers who work with lawyers and judges, we understand the legal context you operate in, the nature of your work and the sort of situations and challenges you face on a daily basis. With the experience of being in full time practice for 15 years and 12 years engaged in full-time coaching, we understand how you think and operate and know how to enable you to perform at your best.

In addition to enabling judicial and silk applicants to succesfully navigate competency based selection exercises, we provide our clients with research backed strategies, tools and technologies drawn from the fields of Neuroscience, Performance Psychology and Stress Management and the best practices of elite performers including Special Forces and Olympic Athletes that will enable you to

• Feel calm, centered and confident in any situation.
• Retain clarity and focus under pressure.
• Recover and Recharge.

We provide advice, coaching and support face to face, and by video and telephone.

Based in Clerkenwell, we provide a friendly, professional service.  We will work with clients after office hours and remotely at weekends where necessary. We always go the extra mile for all of our clients because your world is our world.
