HLP082: On The Secrets of Being a Nomadic Lawyer with Larissa Bodniowycz of Sort of Legal
Lawyers often wonder how they can get more autonomy, independence and flexible in their schedule. Although most lawyers acknowledge that they’ve had to work while on vacation, most haven’t thought about building a practice around that lifestlye. On today’s show I chat with Larissa Bodniowycz, who did just that! Larissa is a solo practitioner and legal nomad blogging over at Sort of Legal. We chat about her transition out of traditional law practice and gives invaluable advice about remote work for lawyers.

The two ways Larissa generates income
How Larissa decided it was time to pivot
The importance of following your interests
The basics for of setting up a remote practice
Tips for business development aka finding clients
How to figure out when it’s the “right” time
How much money you should save before taking a leap
Best Advice for Finding Happiness
“Two sides of the same coin: 1. They don’t accept the status quo or that bad situations have to be bad or the practice of law just sucks. They look for opportunities to change it. 2. Accept who they are, or are on a journey to accepting who they are.”
