The Legal Career Remix

📊 63% of professionals now juggle multiple roles, or plan to.

And lawyers are leading the way. More are stepping away from the one-job, one-firm model and choosing portfolio careers – a mix of freelance legal work, fractional GC roles and legal consulting across industries.

✨ Who’s doing it? 

Mid-career lawyers looking for flexible careers, experienced GCs wanting variety and even juniors carving out niche expertise early on.

✨ Why now? 

Companies are shifting away from full-time legal hires and increasingly relying on flexible, on-demand legal support. This opens up huge opportunities for lawyers willing to take a different path.

✨ Where’s the demand? 

Startups, scale-ups, fintech, and private equity firms all need top-tier legal expertise, but not necessarily full time. Portfolio lawyers fill the gap.

Thinking about a shift? Visibility is key. Build a strong personal brand, connect with growing businesses and showcase your ability to offer strategic, commercial legal advice. 

Traditional law careers aren’t disappearing, but new paths are opening fast. Could this be the future of legal work? Would you take the leap? Drop your thoughts below. 👇
