Our Story
We'll guide you.
Attavita means "compass" in Icelandic. Founder and President, Gina Sauer, J.D., was inspired to form Attavita while hiking in Iceland, a land of glaciers, volcanoes, and black sand beaches whose unique terrain is unlike any other on earth. The world of law careers is unique too...and there are a lot of directions you can go. That's why you need someone who speaks the language of lawyers and legal employers to guide you. Fortunately, we know our way around law careers.
Attavita was born from a passion for helping lawyers achieve their career goals. While we continue to serve the legal community, along the way we've expanded our services and developed a unique niche: helping professionals of all kinds advance in their career by honing their public speaking skills.
If you're a legal employer, we'll help you manage and maximize your legal talent with outplacement, training, coaching, and more. Learn more about our services for employers.
If you're a lawyer, we'll give you a road map to advance in the job you’re in or find a new one -- in the traditional practice of law or in an alternative legal career. Learn more about our services for lawyers/job seekers.
If you're a team leader whose professional staff is ready to take their presentation skills to a higher level, we'll help them get there. Learn more about our services for public speakers.
