This group is designed for successful attorneys currently generating less than $1M in origination annually who are serious about increasing their book of business while they are very busy.
Why Attorneys Should Join
Attorneys should join if they want to efficiently and effectively extract high-quality referrals and best practices from a trusted and highly-successful peer group without wasting time. These are very busy and successful attorneys with a strong drive and desire to grow their book of business even further. Each 60-minute focused session is engineered to be one of the most ROI-positive hours of your month. Stop wasting time in low-value networking groups. ERT delivers access to high-signal, actionable intelligence and qualified, peer-to-peer referral opportunities that directly accelerate your book of business.
Prospective Members
An attorney can attend before deciding to join. Upon invitation and indication of interest, the ERT moderator will personally reach out to the prospective member to discuss their current origination focus, determine eligibility, and ensure they are strategically introduced to a current member who is a potential referral source and reference provider. This encourages communication and more immediate value.
Membership Investment
The monthly membership is $50. This rate reflects the caliber of the peer group and the high-value, actionable insight delivered in every 60-minute session. There is membership location and category exclusivity for each US state or Canadian province; i.e. one member per category per state/province. Members receive a guest and membership attendance list after each meeting as well as access to our member-only private group on Linkedin.
Sponsorship Investment
A highly selective opportunity for one exclusive firm per category across the entire group to engage with the ERT network. The investment is $250 per month and provides primary and exclusive visibility in our member-facing communications and recognition during meetings.
Category Protection
To ensure maximum referral value, membership is strictly limited to one attorney per practice area per state/province. Once your category/location is filled, all other interested attorneys will be wait-listed.
FAQ
What type of professionals are the key focus of the meetings?
Ideal attendees are lawyers who are very pressed for time yet still want to increase their origination results. They want to share ideas, challenges, tactics, tools, and strategies with other attorneys who are in a similar situation. They want to also build referral relationships with each other.
What are some unique features of the meetings?
Members and sponsors are not given time in the meetings to provide their “elevator pitch.” This saves us a lot of time during the meeting and allows us to discuss more ideas on the monthly topics. This allows people to know what to expect and get what they expect in every meeting.
What is the format / agenda?
This is a professionally moderated group discussion. First, we discuss some of the strengths of the people in the meeting that are related to the monthly topic. Second, we discuss that challenges faced. Third, we discuss solutions and advice. Fourth and finally, we discuss how the attendees may want to have 1-1 meetings or make introductions for each other before the next ERT meeting.
How can attendees contribute to the meeting?
Members and guests are encouraged to listen carefully to each person speaking and monitor the Zoom chat panel as well. They can ask clarifying questions, provide advice for those facing challenges, invite people to other events and groups, request introductions, and suggest introductions, especially when those introductions can help a member to grow their origination.
What is included in the membership?
Members can attend monthly meetings, receive follow up emails from each meeting that include spreadsheets with all the members and guests contact details, have access to the private members only Linkedin group, and have category exclusivity in their state/province. For example, a Corporate Finance and M&A Attorney in Los Angeles will be the only Corporate Finance and M&A Attorney from their “region,” which is the whole state of California.
What is included in the sponsorship price?
Sponsors are exclusive to one per category for the entire group. For example, there would be only one sponsor firm that does Bankruptcy Law.

What is included in the PDF document that is attached to the follow up emails sent to members and guests?
The sponsors each have a half page profile which includes a brief description of their work, a head shot of the member, the company logo, contact details such as phone number, category, company name, title, location, and email address, and hyperlinks to their website and linkedin profile. The members get 1/8 of a page with similar information, excluding a description of their work.
