In Law360's article, "How to 'Optimize' Your Legal Career—So You Can Eventually Change It," Chris Wilson discussed how attorneys wishing to change their legal careers from a traditional path to a nontraditional path can do so effectively. The article provides advice from several of Legalweek New York 2020's panelists such as networking, starting your legal foundation in a traditional law firm to accrue financial stability, and honing one's skills. Mr. Wilson urges any attorney wishing to make a career change to continuously work on one's entrepreneurial mindset and maintain self-sufficiency.

Or, perhaps more likely, you don’t want to get stuck doing the traditional job of a lawyer—the Big Law associate-to-partner track, the government gig, the in-house route, etc.
