Build a more sustainable and satisfying career
Bar Advantage Careers helps experienced attorneys build more sustainable and satisfying careers by improving career wellness, expanding career options, and making more strategic career decisions. Work with Kenny Tatum to evaluate your choices, clarify your priorities, and develop practical next steps.
A better career can take more than one form.
What career decisions are you facing?
Sometimes the right move is changing firms, roles, practice settings, schedules, expectations, or priorities. Sometimes your next step involves exploring another field. We begin with the career you want to build and evaluate the choices supporting your goals.
Improving your current career? Evaluate workload, advancement, professional relationships, and the changes needed for a more sustainable practice.
Changing employers or practice settings? Compare another firm, an in-house role, government, public interest, or a different legal setting against your priorities.
Exploring another field? Identify transferable capabilities, examine realistic opportunities, and determine what you need to learn before making a move.
For Biglaw attorneys, the work also addresses questions about sponsorship, partnership expectations, compensation timing, and professional identity.
