"This membership gives me a space where I can ask questions and grow professionally without judgment.”
WHY THIS MEMBERSHIP?
Â
You already know the feeling:
Â
Your legal knowledge is solid, but when it’s time to stand up in court… nerves take over.
Â
The truth is, traditional training wasn’t designed to prepare you for this part of the job:

The high pressure moments. The unpredictable witnesses.
The judges’ questions you never see coming.
Â
YOU DON'T NEED MORE THEORY
Â
You need a place to practise safely,
get feedback, and grow your skills with support.

“I really value the opportunity to perform and practise on a monthly basis and receive valuable feedback. Sonia’s approach allows us to perform for the second time after her feedback. This is when I feel I learn the most."
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL GET INSIDE...Â
✔️ Monthly Advocacy Club Live Sessions
Interactive sessions where you’ll practise courtroom techniques, perform in real time, and receive constructive feedback. This is where the transformation happens - through doing.
✔️ Access to Leading Advocates
Live and recorded workshops, masterclasses and demos by guest experts.
✔️ Clear, Practical Techniques
No heavy, theoretical lectures. Just strategies you can apply straight away in your next hearing.
✔️ Supportive Feedback That Builds Confidence
You’ll learn what to improve - and exactly how to do it - in a way that sharpens your skills without tearing you down.
✔️ Mindset Coaching For Advocates
Shift from “I hope I don’t mess up” to “I know how to handle this.” Develop calm and composure under pressure.
✔️ A Community of Advocates Who Get It
Finally, a space where you can ask questions, practise openly, and stop trying to figure it all out alone.

"We had the opportunity to perform an examination-in-chief in front of a Crown Court judge. Experiences like this inside the membership are utterly fantastic"

Â

Â
→ You want to enjoy advocacy again, instead of dreading it.
Â

YES, I WANT IN!
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN...Â
Â
✔️ Techniques you can rely on under pressure
✔️ Constructive feedback that accelerates your growth
✔️ Confidence that feels unshakable
✔️ A deeper understanding of what works in court - and why
✔️ Encouragement from both Sonia, guest trainers and a community of peers

"All resources are easily available, relevant, and very helpful. Especially the masterclasses made by the guest experts, as there is always an element of surprise, which keeps things exciting."
WHY THIS MEMBERSHIP WORKSÂ Â
Â
Unlike traditional trainings that leave you guessing, this membership:

✔️ Focuses on your strengths as well as blind spots - so you know exactly what you're doing well and what needs improving.
Â
✔️ Bridges theory with practice - giving you tools you can actually use in the courtroom.
Â
✔️ Provides ongoing, real-time feedback - so you improve consistently.
Â
✔️ Builds confidence through community - because no advocate should have to do this alone.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'M SONIA SIMMS
Â
I am deeply passionate about empowering others to excel in the courtroom. Since being called to the Bar in 1993, I have dedicated my career to sharing my expertise with other legal professionals.
For 25+ years, I have specialised in legal education and training, focusing on Criminal Advocacy, Criminal Litigation, Evidence, and Sentencing. My mission is to demystify the legal process and help others master the art and strategy of effective courtroom advocacy.


"Before working with Sonia, my cross-examination skills were practically non-existent. Now, I feel confident in court and can control witness responses effectively."

"I just finished a case that could have ended my career. I was up against silks, but Sonia's techniques were invaluable."
