See what everyone’s saying about Front Foot Academy
The Front Foot Academy has been training people worldwide, with graduates praising its practical step-by-step guidance learning to redefine their practices and priorities. Here are some of their words for the academy:
“What a great resource. I wish I’d had it when I started in-house!”
Nick, Regional General Counsel, Australia
“This course has been helpful and directly applicable to my work. It provides valuable insight into legal operations and offers practical tips that save time. The live Q&A sessions are useful too. If you're a legal professional looking to level up, this course is a must.”
Natassia, Legal Operations Manager, UK
“The academy sets a very good framework for whatever it is that legal wants to do. It's one of the best I've seen in terms of breaking it down into the more actionable steps with the tips from David’s real world perspective - not a theoretical approach. David points out what to be mindful of, relevant to the clients and the stakeholders. How to manage that relationship throughout all of the content.
The tie in between organisational objectives and goals, team goals and individual goals, that's one of the best ways that I've seen it being presented.”
Emily, Senior Legal Operations Manager, NY
“It identified and articulated the challenges in-house teams face in simple and easy to understand ways. It suggested useful and simple tools to address the issues. I thought it was great and really useful.”
Clementine, General Manager, Legal & Portfolio Program, Australia
