SO, YOU READY?
I practiced law for 10 years, first as a Biglaw litigator, and later at a state court of appeals (with a brief interlude in legal publishing).
In 2018, my husband and I paid off our (double!) law school loans and I left the law for good.
I created Former Lawyer to help other lawyers, like me, who discover that they don’t want to practice law, but don’t know what to do next.
In the free First Steps guide, I’ve synthesized all of the tips and best practices from countless interviews I’ve done with former lawyers for my podcast, plus my work with clients who have left the law, into a handful of actionable and bite-size strategies that you can implement right away.
