About the event

A 90-Minute Strategic Briefing


March 14, 2026

9:00 AM PST

Closed group. Limited seats.

Positioning

Building an international book of business is not the result of increased visibility or random networking. It is the product of deliberate jurisdictional positioning, structural differentiation, and disciplined client architecture.

This session is designed for lawyers building or expanding a cross-border practice who want a clear, strategic model for attracting and retaining international clients — without competing on price.


What We Will Cover


I. Strategic Market Selection

  • Identifying profitable jurisdiction corridors

  • Positioning around regulatory asymmetries

  • Avoiding diluted “global generalist” positioning


II. Authority & Differentiation

  • Converting technical expertise into perceived strategic value

  • Signaling cross-border competence to founders and foreign firms

  • Building credibility without self-promotion


III. International Client Architecture

  • Designing structured cross-border service offers

  • Moving from hourly work to advisory retainers

  • Preventing commoditization


IV. Referral Infrastructure

  • Structuring reciprocal relationships with foreign counsel

  • Becoming the preferred jurisdiction counterpart

  • Sustaining long-term referral value


V. Converting Conversations into Engagement

  • First-call structure for international prospects

  • Risk-framing that shifts exploratory calls into retained work

  • Professional closing without aggressive selling


What Participants Leave With


  • A jurisdiction pairing selection model

  • A structured positioning framework

  • An international offer design template

  • A referral relationship blueprint

  • A pricing decision matrix for cross-border work


Post-Session Mentorship Path


After the session, participants will have the opportunity to apply for a small, private mentorship cohort.


Mentorship Includes:


  • 4-week guided implementation phase

  • Weekly small-group advisory call

  • Direct review of positioning statements

  • Feedback on service offer design

  • Referral mapping exercise

  • Optional 1:1 strategic session


This is not open enrollment.


Selection is limited to a small group to preserve depth.


The mentorship phase is designed for lawyers who want to actively build their international book of business in 2026, not just understand the theory.

As Managing Partner of GB & Partners, she has built and led international legal matters spanning technology, AI, media, fintech, and cross-border commercial transactions.
