As recognized by a
company of professional retention consultants,
“lawyers believe that being dissatisfied with the practice
is just the nature of being a lawyer and that nothing can be
done to change it. There is a level of hopelessness
expressed in any possibility of meaningful change...”
On
paper, most attorneys are academic and professional
successes.
In reality, many are scared to death of failure. They
suspect that they have made an irrevocable choice when they
committed to and paid for law school. They think the
investment in time and money is too great to risk a career
change.
Increasingly, lawyers are seeking out professional
services to help them make the transition to an in-house
legal environment or to leave the law entirely.
Annually, attorneys represent one of the highest
percentages of RLS clients. In fact, an entire
division of RLS was created specifically to assist lawyers seeking a career change. Attorneys need
someone who is able or who is qualified to spend time with
them weighing options, discussing in-house alternatives, and reaching
an understanding of what is right specifically for his or
her circumstances.
