Although this experience belongs to the most advanced room at Gericó Academy, it reflects the same commitment to transforming the legal sector’s mindset from within.

Both in Next Generation and in Rainmakers, the mission is the same: to take large, mid-size, and small firms to the next level by strengthening their business ambition from different angles.
