Liz Brown is an expert on reimagining life and career possibilities for lawyers. A Harvard-trained former law partner, Liz Brown is the author of the groundbreaking book, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the JD You Have (Bibliomotion 2013). She is a frequent speaker and writer on alternative careers for lawyers, and has been a featured speaker at Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, and other venues.
Speaking from experience and extensive research, Liz talks compellingly about why so many lawyers struggle with career change, the unique challenges and options for women lawyers, and creative, effective strategies for identifying next steps. Her approach to career reinvention inspires real and positive change. She encourages readers to draw inspiration from some of the thirty ex-lawyers profiled in Life After Law, all of whom have found more engaging work outside of law.
