Many people who graduate from law school and decide to practice law may face several challenges. The high cost of living, toxic culture, and covert emotional abuse are just a few examples. There are many other reasons why attorneys decide to leave the practice of law, and the reasons may not be as obvious as those listed above. But there are some common themes. These challenges may cause attorneys to choose to leave the profession. These reasons may vary depending on the individual.

A good reason for former lawyers to consider changing careers is the opportunity to pursue a rewarding career. Most don’t regret making the decision, and in fact, they wish they had done it sooner. The skills they acquired while working as attorneys can transfer well to many other fields. These skills include hard work, attention to detail, strategic thinking, and the ability to write. And, of course, they always use their analytical and writing skills.
Other reasons may also include the need for more time off. Most law firms don’t look kindly on attorneys who take time off because of major life events. Most firms define major life events as the death of a loved one, a serious illness, or the birth of a child for women. Those who wish to take a break from their work should make their decision carefully and consider all the possible consequences.
