Team building for law firms

The best team building for law firms fits a 60-minute lunch slot or the end of the day, works with several offices on one video call, and puts partners, associates and staff on the same team. We book hosted games, kit workshops and holiday parties with live prices, and you can pay by invoice or PO.

Law firm team building activities, by the slot you have

Start from the hour you can get, not the activity. Each one below has a live host or instructor, runs about 60 minutes, and shows its live price.

The lunch hour: 12 to 1, nothing to prepare

Hosted games on your video call. Order lunch, open the link, and everyone is back at their desk by 1.

Planning around billable hours

A firm's calendar is set by clients, courts and closings. Four rules that get people to show up anyway.

  • Take a slot people already give up

    Lunch at 12 or the last hour at 5. Every hosted activity here runs about 60 minutes and ends on time.

  • Check the trial and closing calendar

    Ask each practice group leader for blackout dates before you pick one. A date half the litigators miss is a lost date.

  • Put partners, associates and staff on one team

    Tell the host how you want teams mixed. Games that reward guessing over expertise keep the senior people from running every round.

  • Ask nothing before the event

    No reading, no forms beyond a kit address. Hosted games need only the meeting link.

Several offices, one video call

Most firms with more than one office run the event once, with every office on the same call.

Each office gathers in a conference room in front of one screen, and anyone working from home joins from a laptop. Ask the host to mix offices on every team, so people meet colleagues they only know from email. Set the room up with our hybrid team building checklist.

A summer associate program, May to August

Summer programs are short, and the class has to meet the firm fast. One event at each turn of the summer, booked about 2 weeks ahead.

  1. Week 1

    Meet the class

    A small-team game such as the Beach Vacate-tion Escape Room while names are still new. Our intern icebreakers fill the first meeting.

    A lunch with the lawyers

    One office-wide lunch game with summers spread across teams of associates and partners, like Summer Fun & Games.

  3. July

    A skill they will use

    Speak Up! before the class gives its first presentations or mock arguments.

  4. Last week

    Send them off

    A closing event for the class and the lawyers who worked with them. More ideas in intern team building activities.

The same plan works for a fall class of first-year associates. See new hire onboarding activities for the first 90 days.

Law firm team building questions

What are good team building activities for law firms?

Hosted games that fit a 60-minute lunch, like a survey game show or trivia, a holiday cocktail or wine kit for the December party, and a public speaking workshop for associates. Pick formats that reward guessing over expertise so partners, associates and staff play as equals.

How long should a law firm team building event be?

About 60 minutes. That fits the lunch hour or the last hour of the day, so nobody gives up an afternoon of billable time. Every hosted activity on this page runs about an hour.

Can several offices join one event?

Yes. Each office joins the same video call from a conference room screen, and people working from home join from their laptops. Hosted games run on Zoom by default, or on Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request. Pick a start time like 1:00 pm Eastern, which is 10:00 am Pacific.

When should we book a law firm holiday party for December 2026?

Book a hosted game about 2 weeks ahead and a kit workshop about 3 weeks ahead for US addresses. For a party on Friday, December 11, 2026, that means a game by November 27 and kits by November 20. With guests in Canada or abroad, book about 5 weeks out, by November 6.

Can we pay by invoice or purchase order?

Yes. You can reserve by card with a 50% deposit, or book with a purchase order and get an invoice instead of a card charge. Enterprise customers can use monthly invoicing.

How much does team building for a law firm cost?

A hosted game for a practice group of 25 costs $975 for Fun-Filled Feud, and $1,415 for an office of 60. Kit workshops are a base fee plus a price per guest, with continental US shipping included. Every activity page shows the price for your headcount.

Do the cocktail and wine kits work for guests who don't drink?

Those kits contain alcohol, ship to continental US addresses and need an adult (21+) signature at delivery. For a mixed group, pair them with a game that needs no kit, like Festive Family Feud, or ask us for a plan with both.
