I did compliance work alongside lawyers for years and at 45, I started law school. I worked full time in the compliance role the whole time. Passing the bar the first time wasn’t manageable for me- family, house, job...& the anxiety of doing it so obviously older than everyone in the room. But when I passed it, the offers weren’t lined up. So I opened my own practice. Five months later, I had a firm talking to me. They saw that I have experience that nobody else in the firm has plus I can contribute to other groups. But being a first year associate taking criticism from lawyers 5-10 years younger than me is a real struggle.
