Training and Internal Capacity Building

We put our skills as legal educators and collaborative practitioners to work by providing continuing education, training and capacity building services.

  • Developing and implementing client-specific programs to meet specific legal education and risk management needs
  • Providing interactive Board governance training
  • Participating in both formal and informal mentoring programs that allow us to share our knowledge and experience in a way that adds to the skills of our client’s staff and in-house counsel

Advantages of Working with Meadows Law

  • We take a collaborative approach to handling multi-faceted problems. Our experience has shown that often the best outcomes require solutions that are inclusive.
  • We freely share our experience and expertise with our clients. We do so as our value is not in keeping knowledge secret, rather it is to inform our clients so that they have a complete perspective. This allows our clients to manage more of their risks internally so that it allows us to focus on higher value strategic issues.
  • We integrate a variety of perspectives and disciplines from engineers, technical staff, and other specialists. We can solve complex legal problems by approaching it from a number of angles in addition to legal frameworks.

Are you Constantly Outsourcing Your Problems? Is Your Staff Feeling that they are not Vested in the Solutions?

  • By outsourcing to a legal entity, solutions can sometimes be limited by not being accepted internally in the organization. Additionally, the integrity of the solution may not be as informed as the firm does not have the intrinsic understandings of your organization.
  • Develop additional skills that allows your staff to assess and manage your own risks: Not only are costs saved, but more informed strategic decisions can be made as to when an outsourced legal partner should be involved and best leveraged.
