A Better Way to Practice Law

Practicing With Purpose


In today’s increasingly competitive and changing marketplace, you cannot afford to miss out on the edge of finding a better way to practice law. I’d love the opportunity to help your firm thrive and stand out in a sea of outdated mediocrity.


Retention, stress, burnout …

By far, these are the three biggest issues facing law firms today … and, as you likely know, the most costly.
When a seasoned lawyer walks out the door, on average, the firm loses 300% of their annual salary in the first six months alone, and it takes nearly nine months to fill that position. And the real-world cost to the firm in terms of reputation damage can by incalculable.

Let me introduce myself

My name is Cindy Watson, founder of A Better Way to Practice Law, creator of the Hersuasion™ System, and author of The Art of Feminine Negotiation.
I’ve been an attorney and managing partner for over 30 years, recognized as a leader in the industry. I’m a TEDx and international speaker and award-winning author.
I’m currently on a mission to help law firms realize a better way to practice law.




I can help you … 

  • Retain your best lawyers
  • Guide them to achieve their full potential
  • ​Enrich leadership, communication and business development
  • Create an invigorating work environment that reduces stress and peer-to-peer conflict
  • Increase retention, morale, and revenue
I specialize in teaching both seasoned, and early-stage, attorneys, both male and female, a better way to practice, by leaning in to their ‘feminine’ strengths and honing these innate abilities to be increasingly authentic, less battleworn and, ultimately, significantly more effective.
Studies support that my model increases productivity and results in better business outcomes.
I fully guarantee that not only your return on investment (ROI), but, more importantly, your impact of investment (IOI) will be exponential when we work together.
My program is the best and fastest method to help your team of talented attorneys:
  • Pitch and secure higher paying clients and retainers
  • Garner more respect and build trust amongst both clients and peers
  • Achieve increased work flexibility, life-balance and a renewed sense of purpose
  • ​Win bigger settlements and land better deals for clients
  • ​Improve authentic leadership, communication and negotiation skills
  • ​Build their 5-star reputation and markedly increase direct client referrals
  • ​Navigate difficult conversations and situations with ease
  • ​Reduce stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and depression, and
  • ​Rekindle their passion for the law and genuinely enjoy the art of practicing
These are issues for your roster of attorneys generally, but with women leaving law firms at double the rate of their male counterparts, and with increased pressure to achieve gender equity in the workplace, you can’t afford to lose even one more female associate, let alone a partner.
If you’re interested in bringing a BETTER WAY TO PRACTICE LAW to your firm …
And you know your roster of skilled attorneys are ready to start PRACTICING WITH PURPOSE to give your firm that magic edge …
Let’s explore if we’re a right fit. 
Looking forward to it.
