First Seat — an invite-only private network for the legal profession.
First Seat pairs future lawyers — students, paralegals, future trainees — with Guides (trainees and junior lawyers) for warm one-to-one introductions. Counsel, our AI concierge, brokers each intro only when the fit is strong, so Guides are never spammed.
Free for both sides. Invite-only.
