About Us
The Legal MBA started as COVID-19 lockdown project to write a book, The Legal MBA Essentials, which was published in June 2024.
Since then, we've delivered countless training workshops and programmes, all aimed at helping lawyers master the business of law.
James and Darren have over 30 years' combined experience working with law firms - as consultants, as part of senior management teams and now as trainers and speakers.
