OBA Young Lawyers Division PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM

“Life is full of possibilities.” We have all heard that statement before, but what does that mean for a young lawyer? Many have asked “Are there other career paths I can pursue with a law degree?”

Join us for a candid conversation with a faculty who have built successful careers in banking, business, consulting, recruiting and technology sectors using their legal training, knowledge and skills. The topics they will discuss include:

• Why leave the practice of traditional law?
• What other career paths are available for lawyers?
• What skills are transferable and what skills do I need to develop to be competitive?
• What do future career prospects look like for lawyers?
• How do I wind up a practice, if need be?

Attend this program to hear real-world insight on what it takes to make it outside of law, and the challenges and rewards that come with the journey. Stay afterwards for the networking and enjoy the conversation over refreshments.
