Beyond Billables


Jun 4, 2018

On today’s episode of Beyond Billables, we’re speaking with Alexis lamb, a self-described ‘recovering lawyer’, remote worker, and veteran of big law firms in New York and Hong Kong. As someone who works from her laptop (and has pivoted into recruiting), Alexis is another shining example of a person who’s made a legal background work for them.

 

In our conversation, we spoke to Alexis about her motivations to get into law, her experiences in big law firms, how the recession affected her, location independence, how to find your sweet spot and a whole slew of other things.
