It used to be that lawyers were qualified for one thing: practicing law. Back in the olden days, that was just fine, as there weren’t many JDs seeking to leave the profession. Why not? Because being a lawyer carried with it high prestige, job security and financial reward. Even for those who contemplated an exit, the money often produced golden handcuffs that made it virtually impossible to hit the career reset button.
It’s a different story today. The corporate world and legal profession have changed considerably and an increasing number of lawyers seek to transition out of law. In addition, alternative careers that were once untouchable are now within reach. With this said, making a successful switch requires more than just a desire to leave the profession. It requires self-awareness, direction, knowledge, a strategy—and courage.
