    GAPABA PRESENTS


    THE 2026-2027 MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

    Apply by October 9th, 2026!

    CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!


    GAPABA is proud to kickoff the 2026 Mentorship Program, hosted by the Law Students Committee and the Professional Acceleration and Transformation Committee (PA&TC).


    The Mentorship Program will match Georgia-based GAPABA members for a one-year program. The program includes two components, and is open to: (1) all law students and (2) practicing attorneys, including attorneys in private practice, in-house, government, and public interest settings. Please be sure to be mindful of the categories when completing the form. 


    Active GAPABA membership is required to participate.


    This is an opportunity for professionals in the Georgia community to build relationships that they can carry with them through their long career. GAPABA endeavors to match attorneys on several different criteria including, but not limited to, career progression, practice type, work experiences, and personal circumstances.


    The applications will provide both Mentors and Mentees the opportunity to share details that will help us determine the best matches. 

    For example, if there are specific professional challenges that you are facing and would like to be paired with a mentor who has undergone similar circumstances (e.g., work-life balance; career burnout; transitioning to a new practice area or setting, etc.), please share in your application so that we can be mindful when making mentorship pairs. We similarly encourage prospective mentors to share specific professional challenges that they have overcome in their applications. The folks overseeing this process are GAPABA leaders who have been tremendously humbled to have excellent mentors to guide them, and the more information they have from applicants to help pay it forward - the better! Good luck and may this process lead to great connections and professional development!

    Committee (PA&TC) in partnership with Lumio & Bradley 

    Presents


    Market-Anchored Positioning: Growing Your Practice by Solving the Right Client Problems

    Weds, Oct. 28, 5 - 7 PM

    5PM - 6:30PM: Workshop

    6:30PM - 7PM: Post-Workshop Reception

    Druid Hills Golf Cub

    740 Clifton Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

    Registration will close on Friday, October 23


    PA&TC, in partnership with Lumio and with sponsorship from Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, presents Market-Anchored Positioning: Growing Your Practice by Solving the Right Client Problems. The workshop will run from 5:00–6:30 PM, followed by a post-workshop reception from 6:30–7:00 PM featuring food and drinks.


    Session description

    We know that building a book of business can be daunting. We know that law is still largely a relationship business. But in the fiercely competitive market for legal services, how do lawyers focus their scarce time and attention on approaching clients with what matters to them?


    This workshop is not about sales techniques. We focus instead on how you position your value in a way that matches client needs.  Instead of pushing what you and your firm do onto a crowded market from the inside out, you'll learn how to anchor your positioning in the trends that are important to your clients. Move past generic differentiation to align your expertise with where the market is actually moving, so you can optimize your time and deliver your highest value for the matters that really matter.


    Who this is for

    Law firm partners seeking to stand out in how they grow their book, as well as counsel and senior associates (sixth year and up) who are actively building and executing their business plans.


    About the facilitator

    This session is led by Ed Sohn, Co-Founder of Lumio.  Lumio is trusted by legal industry leaders for executive advisory, consulting, and AI products that accelerate partner-led growth. As a practicing attorney and managed services + innovation leader, Ed brings decades of experience advising Fortune 50 general counsel and partnering with AmLaw 50 leadership on modernizing legal delivery and commercial strategy.
