You can do anything with a law degree! Law opens many doors, based on the transferable skills lawyers develop - persuasive communication, close and accurate reading and comprehension, writing, research, organization and time management, and networking and relationship building.
Our panel of career strategists and legal professionals will explore how lawyers can identify and pursue alternative career paths, including JD Advantage and JD Preferred roles in compliance, legal operations, HR and DE&, legal tech, and more. The discussion will offer practical strategies for mapping a career pivot - from taking a deep dive into your skillset and leveraging your network, to embracing the long game and finding your niche.
