Collaborators & Supporters

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” – Aristotle 

We love collaboration, simply because we can reach more people, which brings us closer to our mission, which is to make the legal industry an inclusive place where professionals from all backgrounds can thrive and have a successful and fulfilling career. 

During our time working in law firms, we had the privilege to expand our networks and meet so many of our peers. Till date, these relationships (friendships in most cases) remain. We are therefore pleased we built a strong inner circle, who are happy to extend their wisdom to you. 

We also love collaboration because we acknowledge that we quite frankly don’t have all the knowledge and need to lean on other professionals to help us on our mission. We have established a BOOST Advisory Board, which includes professionals who actively support us and therefore support you. They helped us shape the programme, shared invaluable insights from their experience and have committed to sharing their wisdom with you too.

We collaborate with strategic partners from the legal industry — service providers who are integral to the law firm ecosystem and essential allies in driving our mission forward. Their expertise contributes to the growth of law firms and helps shape the legal industry into a more dynamic and rewarding space to work in. Our strategic partners’ actively share their expertise and insights with the BOOST network and community, helping to elevate the industry as a whole.

If you’re interested in joining us as a BOOST strategic partner, you can learn more about what this entails below and reach out to us for further details.
