What to Expect
A purpose-driven program, led by lawyers who have been in your shoes, to help you properly prepare for and successfully pivot to a nonlegal career. Some of the discussion will be free ranging while some formulaic—literally. Because, while everyone’s journey is unique, there are some exact steps every lawyer moving to business must take to land their first nonlegal job opportunity. Benefit from shared learning as you will be among peers with similar goals.
