The BigLaw Blueprint was founded to help students and attorneys achieve success in top law firms across the country.
Since our beginning, we have supported clients from pre-law to junior associates with step-by-step guidance. Our team has worked with hundreds of aspiring legal professionals, helping them gain positions at competitive firms.
What sets us apart is our deep understanding of what elite law firms look for in candidates. We share insider knowledge and practical tools that help clients not only get hired, but also thrive in demanding legal environments.
We work with aspiring attorneys and early-career lawyers at every stage of the BigLaw journey. Our clients include pre-law undergraduates exploring law school, current law students navigating BigLaw recruiting, recent graduates preparing for their first associate positions, practicing attorneys looking to land their first BigLaw job, and junior associates (1st-3rd year) looking to excel and advance in their firms. We also partner with law schools and law firms to provide professional development training, career seminars, and strategic guidance for students and new associates. Whether you’re breaking into BigLaw or working to stand out once you’re there, we can help you succeed.
We bring a unique trifecta of experience that no other coaching service can match: our team has practiced as BigLaw associates, led law school career services, and managed firmwide recruiting for global AmLaw 100 firms. This means we’ve lived every side of the BigLaw experience—we know what it’s like to navigate firm culture as associates, what strategies actually work because we’ve coached hundreds of successful candidates, and what firms truly look for because we’ve made the hiring decisions ourselves. Our guidance isn’t generic career advice—it’s insider knowledge, practical strategies, and proven systems specifically designed for BigLaw success. We focus exclusively on elite law firm careers, so everything we teach is tailored, tested, and relevant to your goals.
You absolutely could figure it out on your own—many people do, through trial and error over several years. The question is whether you want to spend that time guessing, or whether you’d rather fast-track your success with insider knowledge and proven strategies. Think of coaching as a shortcut that helps you avoid common mistakes, spot opportunities you might otherwise miss, and navigate the unwritten rules of BigLaw that no one explicitly teaches. We’ve worked with hundreds of law students and associates, and we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Our clients don’t just save time—they often achieve better outcomes (more competitive offers, faster advancement, stronger reputations) than they would have on their own. If you’re ambitious, strategic about your career, and want to maximize your chances of success, coaching is an investment that pays dividends throughout your entire legal career.
All coaching sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom, making them accessible no matter where you’re located. For individual coaching, we’ll meet one-on-one at times that work with your schedule. Group programs and cohorts bring together small groups of peers for interactive learning and community support. Institutional training for law schools and firms can be delivered virtually or in-person, depending on your preference. We also offer self-paced digital courses that you can complete on your own timeline. Every format is designed to be engaging, practical, and immediately actionable—you’ll walk away with strategies you can implement right away.
Absolutely. While top-tier credentials certainly help, they’re not the only path to BigLaw—and we’ve successfully coached students from a wide range of law schools into elite firms. What matters most is how you position yourself: highlighting your strengths, demonstrating genuine interest in specific firms and practice areas, networking strategically, and presenting polished, professional application materials. We’ll help you identify and leverage your unique strengths, target firms where you’re most competitive, and craft a compelling narrative that makes you stand out. Many of our most successful clients didn’t have “perfect” credentials—they had the right strategy and guidance.
“As a first-generation law student, I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do with my law degree. Kourtney’s personalized guidance made all the difference. She took the time to talk through my options with patience and thoughtfulness—no generic advice, just practical strategies tailored specifically to me. After working with her, I walked away with clearer direction and significantly higher confidence in what I could bring to an organization. Her knowledge, patience, and genuinely personalized approach were invaluable.”

“As a young mother practicing law, I was at a crossroads—questioning my practice area choice, whether this career path was right for me, and how to balance it all with raising very young children. Kourtney’s guidance was exactly what I needed. Her clear understanding of firm culture and willingness to give real, honest advice helped me see my situation clearly. I gained clearer direction and developed a renewed vision and goals for the next five years. If you’re questioning your choices in joining a firm, practicing law, or especially if you’re a first-time mom struggling to ‘do it all,’ Kourtney’s coaching is invaluable.”
—Hee Jin Chang, Serpe Andrews, Associate Attorney
