Law degrees aren’t just for practicing lawyers anymore! A legal education can open doors to any number of careers. This panel includes lawyers who currently hold non-legal positions such as CEO, VC director, non-profit director and lobbyist. Many of the panelists have transitioned to non-legal careers after first practicing law in a more traditional legal job such as in a law firm or as an in-house lawyer. The panelists will discuss, among other topics, the extent to which their legal education and training impacted their decision to move on to an alternative career, the challenges they faced in doing so and their advice for those considering such a transition.
