Winning in Your Own Court

Winner of the 2023 silver Nautilus Book Award Feeling stuck in your career? Just graduated and no idea how to start? Wanting to make partner and needing an edge? Winning in Your Own Court offers guidance and models for any legal career transformation, even if it means starting over. Law school is only the first step towards a fulfilling career, as it only teaches law students how to think like lawyers. Without a roadmap for how to maintain a satisfying and successful career, many recent law graduates find themselves feeling stuck, unsatisfied, and unable to better their career. Author Dena Lefkowitz bridged that gap for herself, has taught these missing lessons to hundreds of lawyers as a professional coach, and laid out her processes and techniques in this book. In Winning in Your Own Court, she shares 10 laws she developed during her 20-plus years as a successful attorney and subsequently as a coach. Lefkowitz shares client stories about lawyers who struggled with business development, who weren't making partner and didn't know why, who were encountering career dilemmas, who were unhappy in the law, and who loved what they did but didn't know how to get to the next level. She then helped them build a book of business, make partner in their firm, achieve more in their practice, or even make a transition to another career. She and they did it all using the techniques presented in this book. In this book you'll learn: How to assess where you are How to determine what needs to change to get where you want to be The steps for creating a plan Stories of real clients who went from feeling stuck to achieving their goals Every situation has its solution. You'll learn how to find yours and enact it whenever your career needs a tune-up. Whatever your next move is, Winning in Your Own Court will help you get you there.
