Your law firm partners could be spending their valuable time generating new business instead of training the firm's new associates.
No more repeating the same training over and over again when you have an out-of-the-box litigation training program.
Your law firm's associates get the training needed to be productive and billing hours sooner when they know how to manage cases.
The Litigator Launch Pad training program walks your litigation associates through a proven framework to accelerate their career success and reduce your time spent training them.
If you have three (3) or more associates that you want to enroll in the course, we offer group discounted rates. Contact us to get your discounted rate.

Olivia St. Clair Long is a graduate of the University of Chicago Law School, and is licensed to practice law in both Illinois and her home state of California. During more than 15 years as a litigator, Olivia transitioned from successfully representing institutional commercial litigation clients of AmLaw 100 firms to establishing her own boutique firm specializing in family law and litigation.
As a law firm owner, Olivia observed that the ad hoc nature of associate attorney training across the industry made learning and growing harder than it needed to be for those newer to the profession. Olivia looked everywhere for a training solution for her firm that could eliminate the time commitment and potential for inconsistency and knowledge gaps that law firms suffer in training their litigation associates. When she found the Paralegal Bootcamp series by Ann Pearson, she knew the model could and should be expanded to create associate training modules that encompass essential litigation skills.
Ann Pearson is the CEO and Founder of Paralegal Boot Camp where she develops training programs exclusively for the legal industry. Her training programs have been adopted by hundreds of law firms, government agencies, and in-house legal departments.
Prior to founding the Paralegal Boot Camp in 2010, Ms. Pearson had 20+ years of experience in the legal industry, first as a litigation paralegal in AmLaw 100 firms and then as a paralegal manager at McKenna, Long & Aldridge LLP, where she managed the paralegals and case assistants in their Atlanta, New York, and San Diego offices.
Ann significantly increased the skill set, retention rates (a/k/a job satisfaction!), and billable hours and profitability of McKenna's paralegal group through the same methods she has refined and now teaches in her courses.
