Thinking about building a private practice after government service—whether by choice or necessity—can bring up more questions than answers. This one-hour lunchtime program offers a candid conversation about what it really looks like to make that shift.
We’ll talk about the identity changes that come with leaving a public role, the fear and analysis paralysis that often show up when you're trying to choose a path forward, and how to manage the emotional and financial uncertainty of starting something new.
Presented by a former solo practitioner and current D.C. Bar Practice Management Advisor, Kaitlin McGee, alongside a licensed clinician, Sharon Greenbaum, from the Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP), this session blends practical strategies with emotional insight. You’ll walk away with tools for getting unstuck, identifying next steps, and approaching this transition with more confidence—even if you’re still figuring out whether private practice is right for you.
Join the D.C. Bar’s Practice Management Advisory Service (PMAS) and Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP) for a special program designed for government attorneys transitioning to solo or small firm practice.
