The Lawyer Who Found Grace in Gig Work – Freedom & Flexibility
Name: James, 59
Before: Partner at a city law firm
After: Project-based work and art history student
James left partnership life with no desire to replicate its intensity. He now takes on flexible consulting gigs for social enterprises and enrolled in an MA in art history. “It’s not about being ‘less than.’ It’s about being fully me—for the first time in years.”
