Lawyer Side Hustles


Lawyers like Brian Dixon, who embrace the digital nomad
lifestyle, exemplify the potential for side hustles in the legal
profession. By leveraging their legal expertise and skills,
lawyers can explore opportunities beyond traditional law
practice, such as freelance writing, consulting for startups, or
offering legal services remotely while traveling the world.
Brian's journey as a digital nomad showcases the flexibility and
adaptability that lawyers can harness to pursue diverse side
businesses while maintaining their legal careers.
“I think lawyers can do anything and everything they want with
their law degree,” shares Brian Dixon in Episode 143 of You Are a
Lawyer.

Embracing a side hustle as a lawyer not only allows for personal
growth and exploration but also opens up avenues for expanding
one's professional horizons. By venturing into side businesses,
lawyers like Brian can tap into their creativity, passion, and
entrepreneurial spirit, leading to a more fulfilling and
diversified career path. As Brian's experience demonstrates,
having a side business as a lawyer can be a rewarding endeavor
that complements and enhances one's legal practice. As he
advises, "Lawyers can write their own rules," encouraging fellow
legal professionals to explore the endless possibilities that
come with leveraging their legal skills in unconventional ways.
