Go where you're a unicorn

How going off the beaten path led me to develop unique and differentiated skills in the legal tech world

Last week, I mentioned that having some kind of unique and differentiated expertise can protect you on the job market. Based on the results of my poll, it seems like a lot of you are curious to hear more about my personal experience with differentiated expertise.

Before I tell my story, let me be clear: I was never able to develop this kind of expertise as a lawyer. It all happened in the legal tech world. My hope is that my journey will demonstrate patterns that you can apply to your own work or practice—even if it’s in a completely different domain.
