Work Different: Finding the opportunities that match your priorities

The legal industry has been slow to adopt workplace innovations. Conventional paths often are still package deals with unwelcome tradeoffs – especially when priorities change over the course of a career.

COVID has changed our thinking on remote work, but beyond conventional full-time work – in or out of the office – there’s more room for innovation. Often, the challenge is bridging the information gap – connecting individual attorneys with the innovative opportunities that match their new priorities and make the best use of their skills.

Our panelists have all been on the cutting edge of this challenge, finding and creating opportunities that make the most of their time and talents. How did they find “outside the box” opportunities as their priorities changed? How can young attorneys build the skills and relationships that will prepare them for a better range of options? And how can we support attorneys looking for the chance to put their skills to good use?
