This is our full-day, onsite, Managing Within the Law legal training for managers and executives. It works as foundational training for new managers and as a refresher for experienced ones, and includes our core training on key management concepts, performance management, and documentation, as well as our discrimination and harassment prevention modules.
The managers people want to work for share a few habits. They set clear expectations. They give honest feedback early. They treat people consistently. They handle hard situations without making them worse.
Those habits are learnable, and they’re also, almost exactly, what employment law asks of a manager. That is why managers who understand the law get better at the job and your workplace gets safer for everyone.
“Marvelous, engaging speaker. Kept all material moving along and still answered and invited questions.”
– Manager, Oracle Corp.
Our Trainers Are Employment Lawyers
Not consultants who studied the law. Not a video course with a quiz at the end.
Every session is led by a employment law attorney who is also a genuinely engaging facilitator. They teach from actual cases, use real stories, and are allowed to be funny about it.
Which means your managers can ask the question they’ve been sitting on for six months and get a real answer, in the room, from a lawyer. That’s what legal training for managers should look like.

What Changes When Managers Use What They Learn
Managers stop avoiding the hard conversations. Untrained managers dodge difficult feedback because they’re afraid of getting it wrong. Once they know where the lines are they engage, solving the problems before they grow.
People start experiencing the workplace as fair. Consistency is something employees feel. Stated expectations, legitimate reasons, the same standard across a team, those are the things that make the difference between a place people tolerate and one they commit to.
Respect becomes a daily practice. Most disrespect at work isn’t malicious, it’s unnoticed. Managers learn to recognize it, respond as a bystander, and set a tone their teams follow.
“This training should be done before a team lead is able to manage a team.”
