Your Coaching Questions: Answered.
(We’ve got you covered)
How does Helen Pamely, a lawyer career coach, help lawyers aiming for law firm partnership?
You’ve put in the hours, delivered results, and yet… partnership still feels just out of reach. Helen has been there. As a former Magic Circle solicitor and law firm partner, she knows exactly what it takes to get that promotion. She’ll help you build your leadership presence, navigate firm politics, and position yourself as the obvious choice when the next round of partnership decisions comes up.
How can you build a successful book of business after making partner?
Making partner is one thing—growing a thriving practice is another. Helen’s Path to Partnership programme helps you develop the skills to attract and retain clients, build lasting relationships, and create a sustainable book of business that keeps growing long after you’ve made partner. No more relying on luck or waiting for referrals—she’ll show you exactly how to make it happen.
How can Helen help enhance your visibility and influence within your law firm?
You’re doing great work, but are the right people noticing? Helen will help you own your authority, strengthen your personal brand, and make sure you’re seen as a leader in your firm. When people think of the next partner, they should think of you—and Helen will show you how to make that happen.
What strategies does this law career coach offer for lawyers looking to transition out of law?
Thinking about leaving law but not sure what’s next? Helen gets it—she walked away from partnership to build a career she truly loves. She’ll help you figure out what excites you, identify your transferable skills, and create a step-by-step plan to transition into a career that actually lights you up.

Feeling stuck? Maybe you’re wondering if partnership is really what you want, or you’re unsure if you should stay at your current firm.

How does Helen’s coaching help lawyers manage stress and avoid burnout?
The long hours, the pressure, the feeling that you can never switch off—it takes a toll.

Because what’s the point of climbing the ladder if you’re too burned out to enjoy it?
