Alternative Legal Careers

The NAWL Alternative Legal Careers Group (ALCG) is dedicated to supporting professionals who have pursued or are considering legal career paths outside the traditional roles of private practice or in-house counsel. This group provides a platform for members to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other about diverse opportunities in fields such as legal technology, professional support functions in law firms (including professional development, recruiting, practice management, and marketing), education, and beyond. By organizing webinars, networking events, and resource-sharing initiatives, ALCG aims to empower members with the knowledge and connections necessary to thrive in non-traditional legal roles. Whether you are a seasoned professional looking to pivot your career or a recent law graduate exploring alternative avenues, ALCG welcomes all who are interested in expanding the horizons of what it means to be involved in the legal profession.
