Business Etiquette Speaker for Law Firms: Why This Industry Needs You
Last week, I spoke to a room full of attorneys from across the U.S.—and what they wanted might surprise you.
The event took place in Savannah, Georgia, where I had the opportunity to present a session on executive presence and workplace communication for a national group of estate planning attorneys. The setting? A grand ballroom, complete with risers, big screens, and a full audience—all professionals eager to refine their soft skills in today’s fast-paced legal world.
As a certified business etiquette speaker, this engagement was especially meaningful. Not only was I able to deliver high-impact content to a respected profession, but I also had the chance to combine work and life—visiting my family in Hilton Head a short drive away. This is the beauty of building a business that aligns with your values: freedom, flexibility, and meaningful work.
Why Law Firms Are Turning to Business Etiquette Speakers
This year, I’ve seen a significant uptick in requests from law firms across the country—especially those looking to support their younger associates. The common request? Training that helps them strike the right balance between formality and informality—whether they’re interacting with coworkers in the office or presenting themselves to clients.
There’s also a growing need for clear, polished written communication—emails, memos, and briefs that reflect confidence and professionalism. That’s where we, as certified etiquette experts, bring incredible value.
Virtual or In-Person? Law Firms Want Both
Many firms are open to both virtual trainings and on-site presentations. The flexibility of a virtual session often appeals to firms conscious of billable hours—these short, high-impact sessions make a difference without pulling teams away from client work for long.
Group sizes vary—I’ve worked with groups of 12 all the way up to 45. Whether you prefer intimate roundtable-style discussions or larger, auditorium presentations, there’s space for every style of delivery in this field.
Position Yourself as the Expert
If you’re looking to grow your business etiquette practice, the legal industry is a smart, scalable market. These firms value expertise, professionalism, and measurable outcomes—and they are actively looking for speakers who deliver substance with style.
You don’t need to “sell” etiquette. You simply need to show them how it solves the problems they’re already facing.
If you’re ready to become a business etiquette speaker or expand your current offerings, law firms are listening. And they need you now more than ever.
