Transform Your Legal Career

Through Will, Elena assists individuals in discovering what truly lights them up and helps them create a fulfilling and meaningful career path outside of traditional big law firms. The program focuses on self-discovery, goal clarification, and taking action to align one's career with their passions and values. Elena emphasizes the importance of putting oneself first and setting boundaries to prioritize mental health and personal well-being in the legal profession.

At Will, individuals are encouraged to explore alternative career paths within the legal field or outside of it, based on their interests and strengths. Will provides a supportive environment for individuals to transform their careers, whether transitioning to a different type of law practice, starting their own firm, or pursuing entirely new ventures that align with their values and aspirations.
