I want to move into remote contracts role or in-house. Been applying for several months straight now, but have had no luck. I have practiced family law since the pandemic. Do you know of any companies in particular that would hire someone with only family law experience?

Same issue here and practice area background. I’m looking to pivot as well in this same capacity.

Oooo. That’s hard. I say network and be willing to take a pay cut. Start doing pro bono work with small business as well to add to the resume
