I'm a litigator in a city firm, quite a lot of years PQE. I'm considering having a couple of years off soon because of various things which will be colliding in our family life.
I do still enjoy being a lawyer though and wouldn't want to be a SAHM long term.
So, I'd like to go back to the law (ideally in house or perhaps public sector rather than private practice) after a 2-3 year break. But I'm worried that employers won't be interested. I'm also a bit worried that DH will have got used to me being at home and it will be hard for him to go back to doing more domestic stuff... though I can probably reeducate him
Has anyone gone back after a break? How easy was it? Were employers put off by the CV gap? Anyone tried and not managed it?
Thanks
