I qualified a fair while ago in a litigation field. Initially I thrived on this but overtime I found it incredibly stressful to the point that I didn't return to work after my maternity leave.
I have now been a sahm for nearly 3 years and I am now keen to return to work given that dd will be starting nursery soon, and quiet frankly, I'm bored. However, I can't face returning to my old practice area. As I said it is too stressful and I also can't see how it can work with a toddler unless I have a nanny, which we couldn't afford (I am not in a position to command a high enough salary).
I much preferred the non-contentious elements of my practice area but it's not really possible to just specialise in these. For this reason I have been considering trying to convert to Private Client work (along with that I enjoyed this subject back in the dark ages of doing my degree) and have seen a few courses which, apparently, help with changing to this area. Are there any PC solicitors who can give me an idea as to whether these conversion courses are worthwhile/respected? I obviously don't want to fork out for a course if I will struggle to find work. I am perfectly happy to go back as a nq level in terms. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
