Brian Roe Publishes Article in The Legal Intelligencer on Early Career Pivots and Building a Practice That Fits

Olshan Corporate associate Brian Roe published an article in The Legal Intelligencer entitled “Changing Direction—Reflections on Early Career Pivots and Building a Practice That Fits.” In the article, Brian shares practical guidance for lawyers considering a shift in their practice, including how to evaluate fit and navigate that transition. “Practicing law is a privilege, and while the work will always be demanding, it should still feel like a path you chose—not a cage you can’t leave,” Brian writes. He highlights the importance of connecting prior experience to transferable skills, and encourages young lawyers to be thoughtful and proactive in evaluating opportunities and building their skill sets. “Career transitions make more sense to prospective employers when they understand the story behind your professional path,” Brian writes. “Even if the subject matter is different, the underlying skills—judgment, project management, dealing with clients and deadlines—are often highly transferable.”
