Success Story: How I Left the Law During the Pandemic

If money weren't an issue, what would be stopping you?

 

I was anxious about leaving the security of the law behind, but now I earn even more money than I did as a lawyer. My "lawyer" skills have been a perfect fit for these "non-law' jobs - I've been promoted three times and my career growth upside seems limitless... On top of that, I am a much happier, calmer and motivated person. I even look forward to work on Mondays!

Meet the Leave Law Behind Founder

Casey Berman

Founder, Leave the Law Coach

I left the law in 2004 after seven years in software licensing. I was burnt out, reactive, and doing work that didn't fit who I was. I didn't have a plan — I just knew I had to find one. That search became Leave Law Behind. Since then I've helped hundreds of attorneys move into careers in finance, operations, legal tech, compliance, journalism, and beyond. I've written for the American Bar Association. The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post have covered the work. And I still take every call personally.
