Top athletes have coaches.
So do top lawyers.
Does this sound like you?
You’re successful, high-performing professional with an enviable career. People look up to you, and you have material comfort. Yes, you work hard, but that’s what it takes to be at the top of your game.
But on the inside is it sometimes a different story?
- Do you feel a bit stuck and wonder if this is really the life you wished for?
- Does it sometimes feel as though your life and work control you rather than the other way around?
- Do you feel as though you don’t have time for the things that are important to you?
- Do you feel as though an inner lack of confidence holds you back from achieving your career goals?
- Do you hold back from showing how you really feel for fear it might look weak?
Are you at the stage where you’re thinking: what next?
This is the story of so many people working in the legal and corporate world. In fact, it was my story too.
The good news is that there is a way through this, and I can help.

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.

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.
