Leaving Law: How Others Did It and How You Can Too

By Adele Barlow

"Inspiring, insightful and in-depth. The most valuable element for me: affirmation that I was not alone in my thoughts and feelings - and that change was possible." (Former Magic Circle trainee) Dream of making partner at your law firm? If so, then this book isn't for you. (Same thing applies if you adored every single minute of law school.) Yet if you were only going to do the lawyer thing until you figured out what you were really going to do with your life... you're in luck. This is the ultimate companion for lawyers who want to escape their profession but are sceptical about career counsellors. It is based on years of experience helping hundreds of confused lawyers at Escape the City, a community of motivated corporate professionals who want to do something different with their careers. Easy to read, it has inspiring anecdotes, frameworks from internationally leading career change experts, and immediately actionable tips and exercises to help you build a strategy for your career transition. "This made me question and confront my long-term career aspirations and motivations. It gave me that inner confidence, strength and realisation that my career goals were not but lofty ideals but attainable and necessary for my self-fulfillment and development. Most importantly, it presented crucial, constructive advice that allowed me to make an informed decision regarding my career as a City solicitor." (Former Silver Circle finance associate)
