Charlotte Smith

Helping legal leaders perform, lead, and scale under pressure, “She understands law firm dynamics and the pressures of private practice, and that perspective makes her exceptionally valuable.”

Charlotte Smith is an executive coach and legal performance strategist who works with General Counsel, law firm partners, and senior legal leaders navigating pressure, team dynamics, and the hidden factors that affect performance.

She trained as an employment lawyer at a top-tier UK law firm and made partner before 30. After moving to Silicon Valley, she retrained as an executive coach and built her work around one core focus: helping legal leaders and teams perform at a high level without losing good people in the process.

Her work goes beyond generic leadership development. She helps senior lawyers communicate clearly under pressure, lead more effectively through change, and build teams that hold together when the stakes are high.

Charlotte has coached more than 200 lawyers globally and has worked with leaders in top tech companies and elite law firms. She is also the founder of 247 Legal Inc, a legal performance platform combining executive coaching, behavioral insight, and AI-enabled tools to support legal teams at scale.

One attorney at Parsons described her work as “the best use of resources to promote attorney retention I’ve seen during my tenure.”
