How To Hire a Short-Term Lawyer (and Why You Should) feat. Dan Reilly

Dan Reilly, the co-founder of Legably, a platform that connects
lawyers, paralegals, and law students with short-term freelance
opportunities, joins the You Are a Lawyer Podcast this week. Dan
shares the story behind Legably's creation, the challenges of
introducing freelance platforms to the legal profession, and how
the platform revolutionizes how attorneys and legal professionals
work. 





What You Can Do With a Law Degree





A law degree opens possibilities and allows individuals to pursue
various career paths. As Dan, the co-founder of Legably,
mentioned in the podcast episode, "The true answer is you really
can do anything." Whether practicing law in a firm, working
in-house for a company, starting your own business, or even
transitioning into a different field, the skills and knowledge
gained from a law degree are precious. New lawyers must keep
their options open, explore other areas of interest, and be open
to new opportunities. The key is to find what aligns with your
passions and strengths and to adapt and continuously evolve in
your career journey.
"The law degree is a great credential to have in the business
world if you never practice," emphasizes Dan Reilly, on this
episode of You Are a Lawyer.

This highlights the versatility of a law degree and its
applicability beyond traditional legal practice. The critical
thinking, analytical skills, and attention to detail developed
through legal education can be valuable assets in various
industries and professions. So, whether you choose to practice
law or venture into other fields, a law degree provides a solid
foundation and opens doors to many opportunities.
