Laura Cowan transitioned from finance to law, founding a boutique estate law firm. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she created an all-virtual practice, allowing her to earn $10,000 monthly with reduced hours. Cowan now offers a coaching program, 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer, aimed at helping attorneys achieve similar successes in work-life balance. Her book, Lifestyle Lawyer Revolution, contains practical advice for lawyers looking to create fulfilling, less time-intensive practices while still maintaining a profitable income. Emphasizing the importance of hiring help, she advocates for a balanced approach to legal practice.
I had to turn my entire practice virtual overnight in 2020 in New York City because of COVID... During that couple of months... I made everything virtual, and I really streamlined everything. I found that I could make pretty easily $10,000 a month, working just a couple of hours a day.
The name of the business really comes from just this idea that you can still be a really great attorney without working 10 hours a day, and you can make a nice living without working 10 hours a day.
Her new book, Lifestyle Lawyer Revolution: Live a Life You Love (Without Leaving the Law), is full of tips and advice for building a personalized practice to provide work-life balance for attorneys.
A key part of not working too many hours is to hire appropriate assistance, even as a solo just starting out.
