About Lifestyle Lawyer
There's a widely held belief among female attorneys that to succeed professionally they must become a partner in a law firm or a general counsel at a large company. But why? Many female attorneys will have as much (if not more) happiness and success with a less traditional job: one that's less stressful, allows for more time to spend with their families, or provides more opportunities to work on meaningful projects. Lifestyle Lawyer addresses the special challenges and opportunities female attorneys face in this new legal environment, both at work and in their personal lives.
Section 1 of the book guides the transformation process so you can:
Identify where you are in your lawyer path
Discover how technology can help you transform your career
Learn to shape your own path-one that matches your personal goals
Establish what's important to you-your values, your vision at work and at home
Uncover ways to distinguish yourself from your peers
Leverage networking to establish yourself as an expert
Section 2 looks at six different career paths for attorneys:
The law firm path
The corporate path
The solo-practitioner & legal consultant path
The alternative legal services provider path
The eDiscovery path
The cybersecurity & privacy path
My hope is this book will help women lawyers find a voice, find a position within the new legal market, and find the courage and knowledge to use their law degree and stay in the practice of law.
