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.
