For Solo Lawyers Who Want Out Of The Legal Profession

For Sole Practitioner Lawyers Who Know It’s Time to Move On

Those Who Feel Lost, Trapped Or Ready To Move On To Something Else

Help For The Solo Solicitor Who Has Had Enough Of Practising Law On Their Own

Letting go of being a solo lawyer is not easy.

Especially when, deep down, you know you’ve had enough.

You feel burnt out, disillusioned, and trapped.

This isn’t just about leaving a job as a sole practitioner.

It’s about recognising the beginning of the end of your career as a solo solicitor.

Letting go of your solo lawyer identity is indeed one of the hardest parts. The ego attached to being a lawyer practising on their own is tough to walk away from and understandably so.

It is however OK to feel disillusioned. To want out. To crave something more than what you’re doing right now.

Change is easy to imagine, but legal career reinvention for the sole legal practitioner is harder to execute.

Time invested, fear of being perceived as a failure as well as the ego hit to your identity - these are all real barriers to you stopping moving on to something else when you probably should.

If any or all the above sounds like you, and you want to have a chat about leaving solo practice, reach out to Paul Ippolito here for an obligation free chat

Legal Career Reinvention For The Solo Solicitor

We provide coaching for those who have well and truly had enough of being a sole practitioner solicitor.

This coaching we are promoting here instead is for the solo lawyer who knows, deep down, they no longer want to practise law on their own.

You no longer want to be one.

And that feeling isn’t going away.

The reality is you’ve probably changed over time. Your values have also probably shifted. That is fine.

What matters now is different from when you began as a solo practising lawyer.

And again that’s perfectly OK.

You are not a failure. You are just probably not that sole practitioner lawyer anymore.

So now what?

You Are Not Starting From Scratch As A Sole Legal Practioner

There are many ways of transitioning out of practising law solo.

Fortunately, unemployment does not have to be one of them.

You can sell it to someone else or else emerge with a larger practice.

Other solo lawyers have moved into successful careers into law enforcement, government, politics, coaching, consulting, legal education, legal tech, policy, management as well as business and beyond.

Some have turned side hustles and projects they were running as solo lawyers into alternative new careers.

You are also probably underestimating what you bring to your new legal or non-legal career.

They are a just solid base to leverage off for what comes next.

All of this is a considered process of transition.

It is about thinking things out with us, exploring your options, planning your next steps, and preparing to make the move while still practising on your own.

Yes, it takes a bit of time.

But that time buys you clarity, stability, and a future you actually want.

And it also pays the bills in the meantime.
