Collaborative Learning & Mentorship Program
Each Cohort, Lift matches less experienced LegalServer admins with more experienced admins for 1-on-1 mentoring sessions. Cohort participants also have the opportunity to participate in 15 group training sessions.
Community Building
Lift creates opportunities for camaraderie and collaboration across the community of administrators in the legal technology sector through online and in-person gatherings.
LegalServer Skills Development
In the future, Lift will expand beyond its current mentorship program to support the entire community through free and low-cost, publicly available, self-paced resources aimed to support LegalServer administration skills development.
Career Coaching & Leadership Development
Lift activities are not limited to technical skills. Leadership trainings promote career growth and empower participants to drive innovation at their organizations.
