For young lawyers, choosing a practice area can feel like a career-long commitment. In a profession that emphasizes experience, it can seem critical to build niche expertise as soon as possible.

But for many lawyers, the practice area that once seemed exciting can quickly become anything but. Or, young attorneys looking for a job may find themselves pigeon-holed in an area they have no interest in.

Lawyers often struggle with feeling stuck in a practice that makes them question their career entirely, even years into practice. However, there are options for attorneys that are struggling to hit their stride.

When a chosen area unexpectedly comes with difficult personalities, confusing procedure or daunting subject matter, what should you do? Panelists will discuss ethical options for re-routing your career path to find fulfillment as a lawyer. This program will cover:
Finding your niche as a young lawyer
Navigating a mid-career switch
Making your practice your own for lawyers at all levels
