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.

Stress Mastery For Lawyers Designed By Lawyers and Stress Experts

Our stress mastery advice is provided through the Legal Wellbeing consultancy. It is targeted to the unique stresses and pressures face by lawyers and judges. Long hours, tight deadlines, high stakes, too much or not enough work, billing targets, demanding clients and judges, always ‘being on’ and connected, financial pressures and a lack of quality sleep are just some of the common factors reflected by the reported increase in stress, anxiety and burnout.

No Additional Thinking or Talking Required

Conversations and therapy have a very important place in the field of stress management. Our focus, however, is on empowering our clients with tools and strategies that can be used as and when needed, for every stress related situation or issue.

Our research backed, practical solutions provide real time, measurable and sustainable results that will:

• Enable you to go into hearing or meeting feel alert, calm and in control.

• Shift you from a state of stress into recharge and recovery mode in minutes;

• Enable you to remain focused and centered when hearings or meetings unexpectedly go off the rails;

• Help you avoid chronic stress and burnout.

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.
