Give the associates who hold your firm together room to think
Every partner knows the quiet arithmetic of losing a good associate, which counts the files that must be reassigned, the clients who must be reassured and the years of training that leave the building with them.
Today I am announcing Le regard de l'avocat, a programme created for independent Paris firms of ten to fifty lawyers, which offers a small group of associates a confidential space outside the firm's hierarchy in which to examine how they practise and where they want to go, and which offers the partners, in return, a collective reading of what in the firm helps its people stay and what pushes them to leave.
It takes the form of six sessions of ninety minutes, one a month, because a lawyer's time is never idle and the programme is built to respect it.
The need is documented by the profession itself. The CNB's 2024 employment barometer found that 74 % of recruiting firms struggled to hire associates, while 29 % of associates were considering leaving the profession within three years, and the CNB's survey of more than 6,000 lawyers in early 2026 shows that associates are among the groups most affected by the pressure of the job.
I am an executive coach in Paris, working with executives of CAC 40 and luxury-sector companies, and a diploma candidate at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, a training that informs how I listen to what a profession asks of the person behind the role.
