Description

A discussion with a mid-career attorney regarding the importance of consistently evaluating your current position, interests and opportunities in the early stages of your career using the results to help you achieve your goals and find fulfillment. Presenter Paul Woody's 17 years of practicing law have been varied. Woody is a transactional attorney who spent seven years litigating. He has been a solo practitioner, in-house counsel and a partner at an AmLaw 200 firm. Woody's practice has also evolved from general practitioner to an area specialist. Woody even spent 6 years as the nation's only (he thinks) pool lawyer. Through it all, Woody has developed increased satisfaction, a strong practice, and a unique ability to relate to and advise clients. 

Learning objectives:

  • You have to look up from your practice and evaluate what is working and what isn't;
  • You should not feel trapped in your current practice area;
  • No matter how happy you are, know where the exits are;
  • Being able to develop and maintain client relationships is an attorney's most valuable skill.
