More and more lawyers are seeking out alternate career routes. The traditional trajectory after law school is to join a firm, switch firms around your third year, make partner at your current firm, leave to go solo or start your own firm with a few colleagues. However, lawyers have been deviating from the traditional path and many of them are looking at startups.

There are three ways for attorneys to become involved in a startup. You can launch your own business, become in-house counsel at a startup, or join an existing venture.
