What People Say

Mila Trezza is the rarest of coaches – someone who has personally attained senior status, important management experience, and impressive professional credentials in the legal field (both in private practice and in-house) before launching her career to share her know-how with others. She is an insightful, intelligent and pragmatic professional. I cannot think of a lawyer who would not benefit from working with her.

Melanie Willems

HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION, HAYNES BOONE, FORMER MANAGING PARTNER

Mila is a natural coach: direct, incisive, and kind, with a ton of experience in managing lawyers, C-Suites, and clients. Mila brings her incredible skillset to help you find a path through the multi-dimensional challenges faced by today’s practitioners, whether in private practice or in-house. Even one session can save months of wrestling with yourself to find a way forward.

Iain Fergusson

GENERAL COUNSEL, OGCI CLIMATE INVESTMENTS

Working with Mila has been an absolute game-changer for me. Her expertise and experience as a coach and law expert, unwavering support and strategic guidance have guided me through leadership challenges with confidence and clarity. Mila does not just offer advice, discussions with her lead to tailor made solutions to fit my needs at each moment of my professional journey, ensuring I feel empowered every step of the way. I´m so happy I met her through pure coincidence and that first brief connection has led to outcomes beyond my expectations.

Reena Kangur

CHIEF LEGAL COUNSEL, GREN

Mila is an excellent coach. She blends her knowledge of legal practice with her experience and natural ability as a coach to bring out the best in people. Working with Mila on our in-house legal team away day was a real pleasure. She provided insightful advice as part of the preparation and was an excellent facilitator on the day. She also assisted with the follow-up after the away day helping to ensure the team’s success in reaching the agreed outcomes.

The Law Society of England and Wales

In-House Legal Team

Mila is a brilliant coach. She has been instrumental in helping me work through an important and challenging phase of my career, and I cannot thank her enough. Having both private practice and in-house experience, Mila understood the issues quickly and provided extremely valuable insights with a practical approach. She always comes well-prepared to each session, and is very clear and empowering in her communication. I would highly recommend Mila to any lawyer looking for top-notch coaching.

Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills

For quite some time in my career, I had wondered about the benefits of coaching. After a promotion to a Legal Director role and finding myself struggling and frustrated, I decided to give it a go. If only I had done it sooner! Mila’s ability to pinpoint issues clearly, impart the perspective of non-lawyers and challenge me constructively, has reshaped the way I think about my role, and given me a clarity and insight I would never have been able to achieve on my own. Working with Mila has increased my confidence and self-awareness and has become a vital – and fun – part of my legal journey!

Legal Director, UK&I, Fortune 500 Company

Mila’s coaching was a turning point for me. Her ability to identify the core issues, her fresh perspective on the legal field, and her constructive challenges have transformed the way I approach my role. Mila helped me view my work not just from a legal standpoint but through the lens of broader strategic insight, allowing me to communicate and perform more effectively in the organisation.

With Mila’s support, I was able to break free from outdated structures and adapt to new frameworks that made me a more efficient and empathetic leader. Each session provided actionable steps, and her engaging approach made it an enjoyable and essential part of my development. Mila’s unique blend of empathy, deep legal expertise, and high emotional intelligence gave me the tools to elevate my career and view my role with renewed confidence and clarity. I am genuinely grateful for her guidance and can wholeheartedly recommend her coaching.”

Alessandro Salvatore Giangreco

Divisional Legal Counsel, Hexagon Geosystems

I first spoke with Mila Trezza during a Discovery Call on 8 July 2024. That was nearly four months ago. Mila has been supporting me through the Executive Coaching Programme. I am pleased and would like to say a heartfelt thank you to you, Mila for your work and express my commendation for your insightful and exceptional coaching and mentoring that have profoundly impacted my professional growth. Your guidance and unwavering support have empowered me to navigate the challenges I face with more confidence and clarity. I am truly grateful.

Veronica Pinotti

PARTNER, WHITE & CASE

Mila has a unique, insightful and deeply thoughtful approach to coaching, mentoring and resolving problems. Endlessly supportive and positive, after time spent with her I was able to re-evaluate and understand my own career path, progression and situation better and replace frustration and lack of confidence with empowered thinking and decision making. Her insight has been invaluable.

From my first contact with Mila, I found her to be a very accessible, competent and comprehensive professional. She is kind and a very good listener. She is also technical, which makes me feel confident in her advice. I highly recommend Mila!

Lenita Bandeira

HEAD OF LEGAL, MEDIA SECTOR

Mila has boundless energy, enthusiasm and drive and an infectious sense of fun. She is a great listener and, unusually for a lawyer, has very high EQ! She sets a high bar and is extremely supportive. Mila’s insights are invaluable – she thinks outside the box and sees a way around difficulties you had not thought of before. After talking to Mila, I always feel ten times more purposeful and confident.

Hannah Kellas

IN-HOUSE SOLICITOR

Mila is an invaluable source of wisdom, inspiration and empowerment. She is an excellent sounding board and it comes from her years of experience at the top. She doesn’t sugarcoat what leadership entails and doesn’t mechanically push people in that direction. Mila is all about listening and discovering what is right for you and helping you achieve your goals with practical advice and a healthy perspective.

M. Khan

IN-HOUSE LAWYER AT A FTSE 100 COMPANY

As a well versed legal professional and leader, Mila has plenty of experience to share. This was particularly relevant for me, sharing the same background in the energy sector. Her structured and optimistic approach provided me with the insight I needed to assess my strength and put my work in perspective. I found each session extremely efficient, with immediate results and valuable action points. Highly recommended!

General Counsel, Independent Energy Company

Mila is an exceptional coach – she is perceptive, insightful and has bags of savvy. Most importantly, Mila is that rare talent who deftly balances the understanding of corporate dynamics in global matrixed organisations, with that of the innate ambitions of general counsel. If, like me, you have ever felt stuck in a rut or are experiencing familiar patterns that are blocking your career progress, get in touch with Mila now – you will not regret it!

Head of Legal UK&I, US (Listed) Global Corporation

I always feel a lot more confident after my sessions. There is always a renewed energy to work towards the goals set and to be able to come back with something for Mila at the next sessions. There is huge progress in terms of having a clear path and working towards it. I think Mila’s approach is fantastic.

Enitan Lawson

SENIOR IN-HOUSE COUNSEL, TULLOW OIL

Mila has a unique set of skills; not only is she an outstanding legal professional with vast managerial experience, but she also possesses very strong intercultural and interpersonal skills. Talking to Mila always helped me see things from a different angle. I can highly recommend her to any legal professional who wishes to truly develop their management skills (and don’t we all?).

Eveline Molier

SENIOR POLICY COORDINATOR, (LLM BRUGE), GOVERNMENT SECTOR

It’s GREAT to have someone external who can provide another perspective, challenge my thinking, and offer practical suggestions while guiding deeper introspection. Mila combines huge experience with sound intuition and has a calm, crystal-clear approach to issues. I found her support invaluable.

Marco P.

ENTREPRENEUR & MANAGER

Mila is an incredible coach. She has a wealth of experience, including as a GC and executive, which is invaluable. Mila is insightful, supportive and a genuinely lovely person. My only regret is not finding her sooner!
