Breaking Down the Bar: Your Guide to Private Practice

Law school is good at teaching you the law…but not how to build a career that actually works in private practice. Jeremy Ellergott is sharing his own experiences, and sitting down with fellow lawyers to bring associates the real-world guidance they need in their careers - and along the way, figure out what separates lawyers who are thriving, from those who are just barely surviving. Each 15-minute episode is designed for your commute, tackling one practical topic with experts from the trenches - like dressing for success, working with an assistant, balancing law with marriage, knowing when to take parental leave, and more. No textbook theory, no fluff - just honest conversations and actionable advice for everyone from articling students to senior associates weighing partnership.
