personal injury trial cases, shares valuable insights on the
importance of marketing and networking for lawyers in this

students underscores the essential skills needed to excel in the
legal profession..





Lawyer Side Hustles


Side hustles for lawyers can be a valuable way to diversify
income streams and explore other interests outside of traditional
legal practice. Bryan Aghakhani's emphasis on communication,
judgment, and writing as essential skills for lawyers can be
leveraged in various side businesses. Whether it's starting a
legal consulting service, writing legal articles for
publications, or offering legal workshops, lawyers can use their
expertise to create successful side hustles.
“Use the skills that you learn in law school to figure out a
plan, execute it, and use those skills in whatever your interest is
in life,” shares Bryan Aghakhani in Episode 149 of You Are a
Lawyer.

Having a side business as a lawyer not only provides additional
income but also allows for personal and professional growth.
Lawyers can enhance their networking skills, build a personal
brand, and gain valuable experience in different areas by
engaging in side hustles. Bryan's advice to young attorneys to
understand their opponents and adapt their communication style
can be directly applied to managing a side business. By knowing
how to interact with clients, partners, and customers, lawyers
can effectively navigate the challenges and opportunities of
running a side hustle.
