Law firms today operate in a landscape that’s more competitive, client-driven, and revenue-focused than ever before. To grow and thrive, attorneys must not only deliver legal excellence but also develop strong business acumen, rainmaking abilities, and an executive presence that sets them apart. This is where Select Advisors Institute steps in.
At the helm is Amy Parvaneh, a nationally recognized business coach with a deep understanding of both the legal profession and the demands of high-stakes client engagement. With a strong foundation in marketing strategy, client communication, and business development, Amy brings a tailored and powerful approach to transforming attorneys into trusted advisors and top performers.
What Makes Our Coaching Different
Many law firms attempt to teach business development through internal trainings or mentorship. While helpful, these initiatives often lack structure, accountability, and customization. Our coaching bridges that gap.
Select Advisors Institute offers a structured, yet highly personalized coaching experience specifically designed for lawyers—from associates to senior partners. We work with attorneys at every stage of their career to elevate their ability to win business, command client trust, and enhance their presence with confidence and credibility.
Business Development That Works for Lawyers
We understand that lawyers are not salespeople—and we don’t teach them to become one. Instead, we focus on helping attorneys connect their legal strengths with strategic business conversations that build trust and lead to long-term client relationships.
From refining their elevator pitch to building strong referral networks and conducting high-impact client meetings, our coaching process offers real-time practice and direct feedback. Lawyers walk away not just with knowledge, but with the confidence and clarity to apply it immediately.
Executive Presence That Inspires Trust
Clients don’t just buy legal advice—they buy the person behind it. Executive presence is essential for lawyers looking to influence decisions, lead teams, and inspire trust. Through our executive presence training, we coach attorneys on how to speak with authority, show up powerfully in meetings, and lead with composure even in high-pressure environments.
This often involves work on communication style, body language, voice modulation, and clarity of thought—areas that are frequently overlooked but critically important in client and boardroom settings.
