INNOVATE LEGAL ONLINE PRESENTS:
Building a Balanced and Successful Legal Career
This May, join Clio, TLC Virtual Resiliency, and like-minded legal professionals to learn how to achieve a more balanced and fulfilling legal career. Sessions will be tailored to four specific groups—support staff, associates, partners, and lawyers who have started their own firm—so that the discussion, resources, and exercises can best address the unique concerns of each cohort.
Each session will include:
- An interactive discussion led by TLC Virtual Resiliency, with content tailored to each specific group
- Additional helpful resources provided by Clio, TLC Virtual Resiliency, and fellow attendees
- Breakout-rooms, where attendees can choose to participate in activities such as developmental exercises, networking, or a guided mindfulness meditation
Note: You must have the most updated version of Zoom to participate. Also, to get the most out of the workshop, have your camera on and come ready to learn and share! For the comfort of all participants, the breakout room portion of the event will not be recorded.
