She was working late on Christmas Eve. Feeling the pressure of getting a deal done while her kids were asking for her. A painful moment many Lawyers experience.
But for Amy Grubb, it was the final straw.
She didn’t know what was next but she knew it was something different.
And it turned out to be something big.
In the conversations with her community after she left BigLaw, Amy described her goals and what she believed was her purpose. And in the months and years that followed, the community she’d created rallied around her while she built multiple businesses.
Now as an Account Executive at Affinity and Lawyerist, Amy helps Law Firm owners grow their businesses.
With reflectiveness and contentment, Amy shares her journey from leaving BigLaw, to building businesses and becoming as a renowned advisor to Law Firms across North America.
And she shares how you can intentionally design your career too, if you build your community first.
