CEO Lawyer Mastermind
October 9th-12th, 2025
Cartagena, Colombia
Ali Awad, also known as CEO Lawyer, has built a $100M+ law firm from the trunk of his car. What started as a virtual office from his car in 2017, has become a multi-state firm with employees from all over the world.
Today, he has over a 140 full-time lawyers, paralegals, and support staff that run the firm completely virtually.
Voted the fastest growing law firm in America, and featured in Forbes magazine for building a legal empire, Ali has become a pioneer in the personal injury world.
As of 2019, Ali has been hosting summits and masterminds to teach lawyers how to market on social media and bring in cases on auto-pilot.
Now, his focus is on building law firm operations and systems for firms looking to scale to multiple 8 figures in revenue.
An exclusive mastermind experience just for ambitious lawyers who want to scale to multiple 7 or 8 figures in annual revenue. And these aren't just numbers, our founder
Ali Awad has taken his law firm from the trunk of his car just 7 years ago to $100M+ in settlements - that's over $20M in annual fees!
This is your chance to spend two full days focusing on the functional areas of your law practice and what's REALLY working in 2025. This is NOT a sales pitch event or a networking party.
This is a real "behind-the-scenes" approach to coaching, not just by teaching but by doing. This is where business gets done, where you take the golden nuggets you need to elevate your practice, and where lifelong referrals and partnerships are established.
This Mastermind’s focus is on international expansion, specifically how to scale your firm by building a global team.
BUT WHY COLOMBIA?
Well, the CEO Lawyer team boasts over 50 virtual staff members - mostly from Colombia! We figured the best way to teach you how to find the best talent in the world is to TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE!
In Colombia, you will get to meet our TOP virtual employees who are:
Signing up more cases than any of our U.S. intake specialists
Settling more cases than our top U.S. paralegals
Leading entire departments for the CEO Lawyer companies
We’ll dive deep into hiring overseas, setting up KPIs and operations per department, streamlining HR systems, and building a leadership team that can run without you. We will show you EXACTLY how we recruit top talent, train them, retain them, and give them a path towards lifelong success with our company.
The truth is, most lawyers are uncomfortable talking about profit margins, payroll, and remote team management. But if you want to grow beyond your local market, these conversations are non-negotiable.
Until you see yourself as a business owner who practices law—not just a lawyer running a firm—you’ll continue to hit the same ceiling.
Expect to go deep into the topics other events avoid. You’ll get direct, high-level strategies from our private sessions, and real-time feedback through mastermind discussions with firm owners who are already thinking globally. You’ll leave with a clear plan to expand your team, lower overhead, and position your firm for international scale—with systems that support long-term growth.
Imagine getting a behind-the-scenes look at how the fastest-growing law firms are building international teams—not through theory or webinars, but by meeting the actual people who make it possible.
This isn’t a panel. This isn’t a pitch.
This is a curated, in-person experience where you’ll walk the halls of Colombia’s top virtual staffing agencies, meet with University partners training the next generation of bilingual legal professionals, and connect directly with the key players that bring outsourcing to your doorstep.
This is not outsourcing in the dark. This is true expansion with clarity.
You’ll leave not only with connections, but with a concrete plan for building your global team—confidently, sustainably, and with systems in place to support long-term growth.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO HIRE THE BEST TALENT DIRECTLY FROM COLOMBIA WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY A STAFFING AGENCY!
AND EVEN BETTER - YOU WILL MEET OUR OWN VIRTUAL EMPLOYEES IN COLOMBIA WHO ARE LEADING OUR BIGGEST DEPARTMENTS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF OTHER FIRMS
You’ll learn exactly how to structure your remote team, how to protect your operations across borders, and how to scale your firm without overextending your overhead. You’ll get to ask questions and receive honest answers from those who’ve already done it—and those who are ready to help you do it too.
This is not outsourcing in the dark. This is true expansion with clarity.
You’ll leave not only with connections, but with a concrete plan for building your global team—confidently, sustainably, and with systems in place to support long-term growth.
This is your opportunity to network with some of the most elite law firm owners in America, the business partners that have helped CEO Lawyer dominate his market, and the directors/attorneys that run the entire operation.
Prior attendees have said that the private dinner ALONE was worth the admission price - not just from the incredible, deep conversations but from the lifelong relationships you will establish with the right people. Again, while there are plenty of opportunities to party and "hang out" with friends, this is not it.
We strategically place our attendees with other professionals who can positively affect their business, provide referrals, and be a good source for growth. Work hard, play hard!
We will ONLY allow 50 law firms in the room so that we can maintain the highest quality and exclusivity - once we sell out, the tickets are gone forever!

I found Ali on social media and his content really stood out to me. His advice on managing a practice resonated deeply. Attending his summit and later joining the academy felt like the natural next steps. Ali's advice isn't just for show; he provides practical tips that you can implement in your business right away. His classes offer real-world guidance on advertising and running a practice, filling the gaps left by traditional legal education.

Booking a session with Ali Awad was the catalyst for unlocking a transformative plan that I'm eager to put into action as soon as I return home tomorrow. With a clear strategy in hand, I anticipate making tangible progress and witnessing noticeable differences in no time. The value l've derived from this investment is truly immeasurable; it ranks among the best decisions I've made in my career journey.

Meeting with Ali Awad provided me with a smooth transition from understanding concepts to putting them into action. I've gained invaluable insights, eliminating the need to navigate through the craziness of scaling a law firm alone. With a structured action plan and an effective system in place, I'm confident in taking my endeavors to the next level. The strategy presented was nothing short of amazing. I'm currently handling 25 to 30 new clients monthly, 1 anticipate this number to soar past 50 and beyond. A heartfelt thank you to Ali and the exceptional team for their invaluable assistance and support throughout.

I first stumbled upon Al's content on social media back in 2021, and it immediately grabbed my attention. When I heard about his Academy, I reached out, eager to connect. Joining was a no-brainer for me; I wanted to take my firm to the next level and prepare for global expansion. The mastermind sessions have been eye-opening, especially the insights shared by speakers from the Al industry. While my focus was originally on immigration law, I decided to dive into personal injury law as well, thanks to what I learned here. But what really surprised me was how much information his sessions cover; he covers everything from virtualizing your firm to building a solid organizational foundation. Learning about scaling and strengthening a business has been invaluable for me as a legal practitioner looking to grow.

Building a profitable pre litigation department is the best investment you can make for consistent revenue. Unfortunately, most firms think they need a bunch of lawyers to handle these cases when there's a strategic way to use case managers to do the bulk of the work. In fact, our average paralegal salary is $60,000 and each one generates over $1 MILLION in annual fees.
Imagine the ROI your firm can have when you learn the proper method to maximize case values, systemize your settlements, and best of all have it run by non-lawyers who don't take a percentage of your income! This mastermind will have a heavy focus on building a pre-litigation machine that runs on auto pilot. We promise there will be information shared that you've never heard - or thought of - before. Get ready to blow up your firm, and your bank accounts!
You will get to meet one of our top performing virtual assistants from Colombia who is averaging $2 million per year in settlements, without any prior training or experience! She followed our Bootcamp trainings and now trains our other staff lawyers! YES you can get virtual employees to do MORE than your current staff for LESS.
At some point you will realize you can't do it all alone. If you want to go fast, you go by yourself. But if you want to go far, you go with a team.
The important questions to ask are: at what point do I hire a department head or director? What are their expectations? How do I know if they're qualified? (unless you have a finance background or degree in HR, you're not qualified to hire for those positions) And most importantly, how do you establish a clear path for growth to make these leaders stay long-term?
Let the CEO Lawyer Mastermind not only show you how to build a bulletproof leadership team, but meet with them to see how high-level directors think and operate!
Most importantly for this event, you will meet our virtual leaders who are managing entire departments from other countries. We have found that with enough training, a virtual employee will do the same (or more work) for only 30%-50% of the cost of their U.S. colleagues. With the advent of A.I., this is the time to save on hiring needs and prepare for automation!
Our entire media team is virtual, and all of our graphic designers, video editors, and content writers reside in other countries. The Mastermind experience will include some of our best marketing and business growth strategies, as well as how to utilize virtual team members to bring in more clients from social media, Google, and other digital platforms.
Attendees will also get to meet with our Marketing Director and our content creators to get the inside scoop on what’s working in 2025 and beyond!
We will cover the software systems, training materials, and SOP’s used to take virtual assistants from offshore help to rockstar performers!
Hiring is guessing. Firing is knowing. We will dive deep into the personality assessments, software programs, and growth benchmarks needed to ensure your firm can grow year after year.
It's not enough to bring an HR specialist when you're at 10-20 employees and hope that they handle your problems. Accounting, payroll, bonuses, labor laws, quarterly/annual reviews, and personnel management are all problems you will face as you grow your company.
The biggest firms aren’t just hiring more people—they’re hiring everywhere.
When you build the right global team, you get more than just cost savings. You get flexibility. You get speed. You get highly educated professionals who can support your growth without the overhead of a bloated in-house staff.
That’s why we’re bringing you to Barranquilla, Colombia.
You’ll spend a full day on the ground—meeting with top-tier virtual staffing agencies, visiting universities that train bilingual legal professionals, and building real connections with the people you could be working with.
No more guessing. No more sifting through online profiles.
This is your chance to meet real talent, understand the culture, and make confident decisions about how to scale your team globally.

I started my practice about 16 months ago after being on the defense side for a long time and I just wanted to learn from people who had been there and done that and seems like Ollie had really built a nice business and I felt like he was a few years ahead of where I was and so I thought if I could get some practical tips and specific information
