Description & Speakers

So, you've been practicing long enough to identify what works and doesn't in your current role, elements of a satisfying legal career, and considered adjustments for increased satisfaction. What comes next? Join seasoned legal career development professionals as they guide you through assessing your career options.

Your first job out of law school might have been in private practice, the public sector, or in a corporate law department. As a newly minted lawyer, you focused generally on honing your craft and learning everything you didn’t learn in law school about the practical aspects of the law.  But as you get more senior, you’re likely thinking more about the future, i.e., what is your next career move going to be? Is partnership in your future? Would you like to go in-house or launch your own practice? If you’ve lost that early career excitement, how can you increase satisfaction where you currently work?

In this session, two experienced legal career development professionals will provide you with a model for assessing your career options. They will discuss:

• How to know what is working for you and what isn’t working

• The elements of a satisfying legal career

• Adjustments you can make in your current role to improve satisfaction

• Resources available to help guide you further
