When we found Savvy we were utilizing another organization to provide training, and that is what they solely performed. Savvy has been much more than a provider of training; they have been an invested partner. They understand the complexities of training in a legal environment and provide solutions that are tailored to law firms. The level of service provided is off the charts fantastic. They have the expertise and work with us to determine the best approach to delivering training, even provided guidelines and suggestions on video development, etc.What I love the most is the dedication, meaning our LMS (previous provider) was once a bridge to some videos, but now it is a widely utilized system that provides the ability for the firm to perform at a higher level. I would highly recommend Savvy to anyone that is looking for an LMS, but more importantly a partner.
- Dan Lehman, Director of IT, Arnall Golden Gregory
While looking for a training solution to supplement my attorney mentoring program, I discovered Savvy Learning and what a great find that was. Savvy offers training and educational offerings targeting the law firm environment. Examples and coursework are often tailored to what lawyers and their staff need to be effective and efficient. The customer service from Savvy is astounding. One email and the solution is on its way – and it’s not just a check-the-box response, but a thoughtful suggestion on how to improve the process. New materials are offered each week which allow me to continually upgrade the knowledge of my staff. I seriously don’t know how I managed without Savvy.
- Dawn Anderson, COO, Hawkins Parnell
“Savvy offers much more comprehensive, observant training. They work hard to understand how their students are doing. They spend more time on areas where it’s needed and less time if everyone gets it. It’s a much more tailored approach to training.”

Savvy has well-written and easy-to-follow reference guides and training modules. Their content covers a wide range of legal application topics including Microsoft Office, Kofax/Nuance, iManage, etc. Their LMS is easy to use and provides valuable reporting. During our LMS implementation, Savvy exceeded our expectations with exceptional customer service by “rolling up their sleeves” to assist with our setup and customizations. As an added benefit of the Training Library, Savvy conducts free webinars on a wide range of technology applications. Savvy has served our firm well with relevant written content and on-demand training options.
- Eileen Kelly, Director of IT, Morrison Mahoney
Savvy made it easy for us to choose content relevant to our environment, onboard users to the portal, and upload firm-specific content. Katy and Terry are especially helpful with anything I need or any questions I have about the portal, so that I can get back to the other 7,250 tasks I have going at any given time. I highly recommend Savvy for anyone who is looking for an LMS – their content and customer service cannot be beat.
