Choosing the Right Path: Selecting Your Practice Area as a New Lawyer

Olshan corporate counsel Dorothy Sluszka and advertising associate Morgan Spina authored an article for The Legal Intelligencer (subscription required) entitled “Choosing the Right Path: Selecting Your Practice Area as a New Lawyer.” The article, published in the Young Lawyers Section, speaks to the challenges of starting a career in law and provides tips for young lawyers and law students navigating their career path. "As will become apparent shortly after your initiation into junior associate life, law school is rarely ever a reflection of real life. It is important to keep hold of the fact that just because you didn’t enjoy a certain aspect of a subject or practice area in law school does not necessarily mean that you will feel the same disdain toward it when practicing in the real world,” Dorothy and Morgan write. “When contemplating if your practice area is the right fit, make sure to consider the work that senior associates and partners in your area focus on."
