Testimonials

  • I engaged Shaun to speak at our partnership conference in November 2024. I asked him to present to around 100 lawyers for 2 hours on legal pricing. That’s a tough gig for anyone, but I have to say Shaun was outstanding. He kept everyone engaged, mixing serious messages and challenging feedback with fun and interactive content. Although two hours is a long time, it genuinely flew by and the session proved to be interesting, thought-provoking, highly relevant and valuable – even to the sceptics in the room. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Shaun highly enough. An outstanding speaker.

  • Shaun has worked with NatWest on several occasions having participated as a speaker at our annual Professional Services conference as well as speaking at various legal sector webinars. I have found his sessions to be incredibly insightful, particularly around value-based pricing. An engaging speaker and the feedback from our law firm customers has always been very positive. Along with his trusted companion Declan, Shaun brings both energy and humour to the room. A subject matter expert and an engaging speaker.

  • Shaun made a fantastic presentation about value pricing to 50 Sorainen partners in Vilnius in April 2025! I can warmly recommend Shaun. He has practised law for decades and has been a managing partner himself, and this deep experience of the topic was clearly felt. Combine his experience with his British humour and you get a great show!

  • Shaun is a rare mix of deep legal expertise and genuine stage presence. I had the pleasure of seeing Shaun in action at The Great Big Legal Offsite (GBLO), where he delivered one of the most engaging and thought-provoking sessions of the event (ably paired with Declan). His ability to challenge traditional thinking — especially around value pricing and the billable hour — is matched by his humour, authenticity, and clarity. Shaun has lived the realities of law firm leadership as a former CEO, and he brings that credibility into every talk. He knows how to connect with audiences of all sizes, leaving them both entertained and equipped with practical ideas to take back to their firms. If you’re looking for a speaker who will disrupt old habits, spark conversations, and leave people inspired to act, Shaun should be top of your list.

  • We were delighted to have Shaun speak at our senior leaders dinner recently about VBP- he is a charismatic, Shaun has chaired our Legal Practice Management conferences on several occasions and has done so brilliantly, with wit, flair, and a keen eye on the key duties of a chair: levity when it's needed, gravity when required, brevity at all times. He's also been a panel chair in conference and has done so with the same level of capability and quality. I'd have him back every time if he didn't threaten one day to do it in a penguin outfit.

  • Shaun has chaired our annual Katchr Conference and did a fantastic job. I expected nothing less having seen him in action at other events, but Shaun is a natural in front of an audience. He also brings tremendous knowledge and experience of managing legal services provision with a great collection of war stories to illustrate any point. As an enthusiastic student of law firm management, he also takes a genuine interest in the conference proceedings which gives great credibility to his chairman's role.

    Managing Director – Katchr

  • Shaun is an energetic speaker who genuinely cares about the sector pricing their work according to its real value to the client and taking care of their people and profits in the process! Its a fascinating subject, and not necessarily an easy one to implement but his examples from firms across the globe are really insightful and the advent of AI clearly means that pricing is well and truly back on the agenda... he provided plenty of food for thought and discussion amongst our audience to take back to the boardroom. Worth checking out his new book (!) and if you are looking for a speaker on the subject to get your people fired up about pricing and the future, then he's your man to kick start those discussions whether you are convert or cynic.

  • I thought I knew a lot about Value Pricing. Then I met Shaun Jardine. Not only is Shaun able to bring the concept to life with rich detail and his trademark enthusiasm, but he's actually been there and got the t-shirt from his time as a law firm CEO. He's also an absurdly helpful and generous individual, and one that could inject tremendous value into any business hoping to better leverage their expertise. Could not recommend his Value Pricing Training highly enough.

  • Shaun has just chaired our annual Katchr Conference and did a fantastic job. I expected nothing less having seen him in action at other events, but Shaun is a natural in front of an audience. He also brings tremendous knowledge and experience of managing legal services provision with a great collection of war stories to illustrate any point. As an enthusiastic student of law firm management he also takes a genuine interest in the conference proceedings which gives great credibility to his chairman's role. Highly recommended.

    CEO Katchr

  • I had the pleasure of co-hosting a two-part webinar with Shaun Jardine discussing value based pricing and touching on his book Ditch The Billable Hour, and I was genuinely impressed by his clarity, insight, and passion for transforming how legal services are delivered. Shaun has a unique ability to break down complex ideas around value-based pricing and make them both practical and inspiring. His real-world experience shines through, and his enthusiasm for helping firms adopt better, smarter ways of working is contagious. If you’re looking for someone who can challenge traditional thinking while offering meaningful, actionable guidance, Shaun is exceptional. Highly recommend his work—and his book—to anyone in the legal or professional services space. I'm very much looking forward to working with Shaun again in the future.

  • Shaun has attended a few of our in-house training days now. Initially to talk about all things Value Based Pricing (on which he is THE expert). Our team really enjoyed his sessions (and Declan who also attends). He is full of high energy and we particularly enjoyed his possibility thinking exercises. As a result, Shaun now gets invited to our annual away days and as an open-minded team we love the extra experience and insights of the legal profession that he also provides.

  • Shaun knows his stuff when it comes to value-based pricing. I highly recommend his books and training for law firms who are considering VBP and implementing the practice within the business. On a personal level, every conversation with Shaun is fruitful with his shared knowledge and years of working in the legal sector. Always appreciated!

  • Shaun Jardine recently spoke at our legal conference in Glasgow in October ‘24 and delivered an excellent, thought-provoking session on value-based pricing. He really challenged the audience to think differently about how legal services are priced and shared lots of practical ideas we could take away and use. Shaun’s presentation style is engaging, energetic and full of insight. I’d happily recommend Shaun to anyone looking for a speaker who can inspire, educate and entertain while challenging his audience to embrace a new approach to legal pricing.

  • After gaining enormous value for my law firm from Shaun's book, Ditch the Billable Hour, Shaun was kind enough to create a custom Training Retreat so that I could learn advanced strategies from Shaun and discuss how best to put the action-items in his book into practice. During an immersive one-on-one retreat stretching over two days, Shaun helped me identify areas where my implementation of value-based billing still has room to grow. Shaun was direct and specific, while also kind and encouraging. Shaun over-delivered during our time together and blew me away with his willingness to share materials and practical sugestions that will put my law firm in the best position possible to implement value-based billing moving forward. For anyone who seeks expert guidance from the litigator who urges all of us to Ditch the Billable Hour, I'm certain that you will benefit massively from one-on-one strategy sessions with Shaun. I'm certain he'll leave you with tailored strategies to implement at your firm, while delighting your brain, as he did mine!

  • Shaun has a comfort zone the size of a small city, which makes him a natural speaker/presenter/keynote. He is also a man on a mission, which adds energy to what he does. We chose him for the 'Managing Partner Secrets' session of Law Firm Ambition's inaugural conference. The session was a huge success and we have repeated it every year since.

  • Shaun has been a speaker at the annual Bold Legal Group conference on more than one occasion. His presentations are always engaging, informative, and even fun. Shaun knows his subject inside out and gets his message across with enthusiasm and clarity. Top penguin!

    Rob Hailstone
    Founder Bold Legal Group

  • I came across Shaun at a Great Big Legal Offsite (GBLO) event and I was inspired by his presentation. For many years I have adopted the same approach to providing cost estimates but since hearing Shaun speak I have adopted a different style to fee negotiation. I was so inspired that I went on to book Shaun for a conference I was chairing. What he had to say on ditching the billable hour and turning towards value-based pricing needs to be shared. I would recommend Shaun to any business who may be thinking about evaluating how fees/costs are being negotiated. He’s a great mentor and motivational speaker and value-based pricing is an important element of anyone’s business to get right.

  • Shaun has spoken on a number of training programmes hosted by Today's Media and is always well received with positive feedback from attendees. He is passionate about his topic and hugely knowledgeable. His enthusiasm is important, particularly when it comes to delivering online and delegates always comment they take something away from his sessions.

  • If you're a lawyer who wants to start being rewarded for the value you add to your clients, Shaun is the person to speak to. He is enthusiastic, entertaining and experienced. He can help you skip years of learning by trial and error.

  • Shaun was passionate and very knowledgeable about his subject. Value based pricing is making a significant difference to our business and Shaun is the man to take you there.

  • Shaun is an excellent, and engaging speaker that isn't afraid to challenge and get people thinking whether what they have done in the past really is the best way of operating, or whether different approaches would have better results.
