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.
