the story of stage. changing the script for business development and marketing.

“You have been instrumental in finding my way in client service and building a practice. I’m thrilled stage will do this for other women.”

- Am Law 100 partner

Think of us as avocado toast…or bourbon-infused bacon…or any collection of ingredients combined to create something delicious and complimentary. Our collaboration originated in 2017 in Big Law. With 5+ years as a unified team and decades (over 35 years combined to be exact) of collective professional services, business development, and marketing experience, each of us brings complementary attributes via stage.

stage is a women-owned legal marketing and business development firm specializing in coaching and actionable strategies to boost empathy, revenue, and visibility for lawyers, with a particular focus on women. We love working with lawyers to turn touchpoints into “trustpoints”.

We believe stage stands out as one of the pioneering in-house legal marketing teams to transition from Big Law and launch an independent venture as a united team. We stay true to our ethos by providing free business development coaching to support working parents before/after parental leave.

Our love of working together shines through for all who collaborate with us. We bring experience from Big Law + Big Four + investment banking. We have worked side-by-side with lawyers at all levels, bringing together practice groups, collaborating with professional/talent development teams, and deepening client relationships and revenue ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500.
