Women Lawyers: Want Work That Gives You Freedom and Fulfillment?

Figure Out What Else You Can Do…In Law or Out

Your intentions were good.

You went to law school to create options,

have meaningful work and make good money. 

AND THEN...

...like many women lawyers, you’re stuck in (big) law culture, pay, identity and expectations. You may look “successful” on the outside,  but wonder, “Is this all there is?”

This isn’t just a “you” problem by the way. This is common for women lawyers, and where’s why:


Figuring out what you REALLY want to do doesn’t magically happen, especially when you’re “always available” for work and trying to keep your head above water in every area of your life.


In order to no longer feel like a round peg in a square hole, and have work you’re genuinely excited to wake up to, there’s a formula to follow.

It’s not rocket science, but you can't just hit the “easy” button either. 

You need a plan and a proven process.

Imagine you have an expert to guide you step-by-step, and provide the tools, and support to make it happen!

Hi! I'm Elena Deutsch, and I created WILL - Women Interested in Leaving Law to help you go from fear, to freedom and fulfillment.

Working with Elena, and WILL helped me find my voice and discover what fulfills me, both within and outside the practice of law.

Now I’m in a very niche area of law, making great money and with a tremendous amount of flexibility.”

wondering if this

program is for you?

WILL Transform is for you if you're a woman lawyer who...

Wants to stay in your firm or the practice, but more happily and with better boundaries

Longs to figure out what else you can do (in the practice or out)

Is not sure, but know you can’t continue this way, and want help to figure it out

When I first joined WILL I was a tired and overwhelmed associate at a big firm.  

With the help of WILL and Elena, I left the billable hour and went in-house.  This allowed me to take yoga and creative writing classes.

Since then, I wrote and published my very first novel! Now I'm living now as a full time author! 

Before WILL, this was an idea, a dream I couldn't even conceive of.

"Before I started in WILL, I was not confident about my job paths/prospects.

WILL has done more to help me grow professionally in the eight months, than I have in the past eight years.

I'm very excited for the next chapter professionally. I didn't think that was possible."

meredith eng, Chicago

When I found WILL, I was looking for unbiased guidance to help me think through and decide,

'Where do I really want to go?'

What I heard in my firm was: 

This is as good as it's going to get. We're the best.’

Now, I say ‘No’ to the things that are not right for me.  

 

My focus now is to have enriching experiences.

My job is not my biggest priority.

It's something I do. It's not who I am. 

I feel brave, so much better than I thought I would.    

I'm more confident and in a better, happier and more meaningful place.”
