Protégé: Why doing a stint in the bush can accelerate your legal career
In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Sally Callander, principal and owner of DLH Solicitors, about her journey from practising in Sydney’s legal scene to regional NSW. Throughout the chat, they explore Sally’s experience practising law in the bush for the past 14 years, delve into the rewarding lifestyle and full career she has been able to create, and point out the practical skills and expertise she has been able to gain that aren’t typically available in city practice.
Sally also highlights the growing trend of young lawyers reckoning the value of spending time practising in regional areas, discusses how such experiences can fast-track professional development, debunks the notion that moving to the bush is career-limiting, and shares practical advice for young lawyers considering this path and want to embrace this opportunity.
