This free online classroom and Q&A is aimed as solicitors across all levels of PQE who have hit a career crossroad and are considering how they can work more flexibly by building a portfolio career.
It will be particularly helpful for individuals who are planning a return to the legal profession after a lengthy career break and / or those who no longer wish to pursue the traditional partnership route.
A portfolio career allows you to incorporate multiple jobs instead of the traditional full-time role. If you find yourself reflecting on what you want from your career and have a desire for more flexibility, new ways of working are possible. If you want variety and novelty a portfolio career that you have designed and tailored to your strengths, needs and passion may sound appealing.
This session was facilitated by Husnara Begum, a former City lawyer turned career coach and business skills trainer.
