WILL - Women Interested in Leaving Law

Elena Deutsch

Booking Overview

This is an interview-led career and professional-transition show focused on women lawyers reconsidering traditional legal careers, with external guests who share first-person transitions into coaching, legal technology, business development, journalism, and creative fields. PR agencies could credibly pitch women lawyers and former lawyers with compelling career-change stories, legal-industry entrepreneurs, career coaches, and experts on burnout or professional realignment; booking difficulty is likely low because guests are generally accessible professionals rather than high-profile public figures.
