Ep.21/ The Non-Traditional Legal Career
LISTEN NOW
Let’s be real with one another. Have you had moments in your career or perhaps it's something that you’re currently considering and that’s whether or not you want to pursue practising law anymore? I know that when we have these types of realisations, it can send us spinning and thinking all sorts of things like, “we’re a failure” or “why did we work so hard to be a lawyer?”.
The beauty of today's world is that there are so many opportunities, so many different roles that you can pursue in the legal industry that are fulfilling and so you don’t have to practice law in order to feel fulfilled and purposeful. One of these exciting opportunities is a career in legal operations and today's guest is going to share more about what a career path in legal operations looks like.
Today’s guest is Mollie Tregillis, who leads MinterEllison’s Legal Optimisation consultancy practice, which leverages MinterEllison’s award winning Legal Operations team to support clients in optimising their in-house legal function to improve operational efficiency, develop high performing teams and provide strategic client service.
Mollie also also has a 'side hustle' – a website called Hustle Bustle where she talks about the reality of our busy, hustle bustle mentality, where she interviews people about their daily routines and generally indulges in some real talk about what it means to a woman juggling, work, life, parenting and more.
In this episode Mollie shares:
about her career journey from lawyer to legal operations
her thoughts on why a lot of people struggle with communicating their value and some tips on how to communicate your value with confidence;
how she navigates imposter syndrome when it comes up for her;
We talk about this and so much more.
Let’s dive into today’s episode and meet Mollie Tregillis.
