The Unstuck Lawyer®
when one of those days is every day
Coaching for law firm owners, partners, & lawyers
Helping you regain more control of your time, workload, and working life.
When responsibility stops with you, the work never seems to end
You did not spend years building your expertise, to now feel overloaded and frustrated, by everything else outside of client work as well. Yet the days are filled with interruptions and administration. Everyone in the firm relies on you. No one is protecting your time, including you. The work that would move things forward for your firm, keeps sliding to next week, and the idea of switching off in the evening, or taking a day off without checking in, can feel out of reach.
It does not have to stay this way. The lawyers I work with are capable and driven. What holds them back is rarely ability, but the patterns and pressures underneath the day-to-day decisions. Change those, and leading your firm, or stepping into the leadership role, starts to feel easier.
“I would highly recommend Simona to law firm owners, associates aspiring to partnership, and solicitors or Counsel navigating the pressures of practice or self-employment.
Her ability to cut through overwhelm and help you move forward with purpose is second to none.”
Qarrar Somji, Law Firm Founder, Witan Solicitors

Meet Simona
Helping you to become The Unstuck Lawyer®
Like you, I am a lawyer. I spent approximately twenty years in practice as an employment solicitor and then a salaried partner.
From day one, as a newly qualified solicitor, my legal career also involved business development and self-development.
For the past ten years, I have coached partners, CEO’s, law firm owners, solicitors and legal executives.
I help lawyers reduce overwhelm, strengthen any areas of low confidence, make decisions to support profitability without added pressure, gain time and space to think, and more.
Joining practical skills with the mindset work underneath it, so change actually holds.
Between my experiences and those of my clients, there is very little about your working life as a lawyer, your approaches, and its challenges that are unknown.
WHAT CLIENT’S SAY
“I would recommend Simona and her coaching services. As a lawyer herself, she really understood the pressures of the profession and how much stress and strain it can place on you.” Claire Darby, Equity Partner, Pearson Hard Solicitors
WHAT CLIENT’S SAY
“If you are looking for someone to really help you overcome all those annoying habits and traits that are preventing you from implementing your tasks and maintaining progress towards your goals then I cannot recommend Simona highly enough. She really gets down to the nub of the issue to come away with actionable strategies and workarounds, in an empathetic and approachable manner. Huge thanks to Simona” Piers Clayden, Law Firm Founder, Clayden Law
WHAT CLIENT’S SAY
“Personally, I don’t spend enough time planning for the business. I tend to start work each day and deal with urgent issues until I clock off. My session with Simona forced me to take some time out from the business and put a plan in place for tackling some important projects that I’ve been struggling to make progress with.” Law Firm Partner
