Practical Tools for Building High-Performance Legal Teams

Attorneys need high-performing teams that can work well under pressure. But in many organizations, especially large firms, attorneys are often left on their own to figure out how to build their teams, resulting in inconsistent and haphazard management that makes even the best performers feel like cogs in a machine. Many senior leaders view this as inevitable, writing off high attrition as a cost of doing business.

The best lawyers see the world differently. In All Rise, Ben Sachs explains how attorneys can catapult their careers by distinguishing themselves not merely through their legal work but their ability to build incredible legal teams. Leveraging his experience across law and business, Ben Sachs unpacks the science of great teams, identifies best practices across industries, and provides a practical roadmap perfectly tailored to attorneys. No matter your tenure—from junior associates “managing up” to senior partners managing entire practice groups—these tools will help you unlock a more collaborative, more productive, higher-retention team.

Practical, Actionable Advice for Building Better Teams

This is without a doubt the best book I’ve ever read about how to manage and work on teams. What really stood out to me is how practical the advice is - this isn’t a management book filled with vague theories that sound good but are hard to apply in real life. Instead, the author breaks down concrete ways to communicate better, delegate more effectively, and build a culture where people actually want to contribute and do their best work. I finished the book with several ideas that I can start implementing right away in my own office. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who manages people or wants their workplace to function better.

Great book

I learned a lot about leadership and building strong teams from this book. Highly recommend.

An Excellent Primer for Lawyers Looking to Lead

Ben Sachs has written a standout entry, telling lawyers and law firm leaders how they can built legal teams that work. Having been in the legal industry for nearly two decades, I’ve seen far too often how things can fail, so it’s great to see examples of how things should work.

Very practical, very helpful guide

I recommend this book to every lawyer I know. All Rise addresses a critical gap in legal education: how to turn lawyers into leaders. Ben Sachs delves into why many legal teams struggle, and it's not due to a lack of talented lawyers, but rather how the teams are managed. He then delivers an easy-to-understand, tangible guide to resolve these issues. Every chapter had practical advice that I wanted to put into action immediately on my teams.

Awesome leadership book

Really good leadership book. I enjoyed the tie ins between the legal and the business realms
