Now That You’ve Gotten That Interview...

Now that you’ve gotten that interview, congratulations. You are already halfway there. Getting to the interview stage means your application stood out and caught someone’s attention. But now, it is time to do the real work.The interview is where your story meets your voice. This is where you get to prove that everything they read about you on paper is real. The first thing you should do is research. Look for information about that kind of interview. Find people who have done similar interviews, whether for the same company or for similar roles in other organisations. Learn from their experiences and try to understand the kind of questions that are usually asked.If the company has given you information on what to prepare for, stick to that and build around it. But if not, find the closest match online or from people in your network. This gives you a sense of direction.Go further and prepare for other possible questions. Write out sample questions and structure your answers around them. However, do not over-rehearse. Be flexible enough to pivot when a question catches you off guard. If you have prepared well, you can adapt your existing ideas to fit new questions.Remember that first impressions matter. When they say, “Tell us about yourself,” or any other opening question, that is your chance to set the tone. Prepare a solid answer that reflects your journey and shows that you are undoubtedly suitable for the role. Make it comprehensive yet natural.If a question catches you off guard, stay calm and composed. You do not have to know everything. Take a brief moment to think, say what you can, and move on confidently. Do not let one tough question throw you off balance. What matters most is how quickly you recover and maintain your confidence.Finally, keep in mind that an interview is not just a test of what you know but how well you communicate it.

But I Don’t Want to Work in a Law Firm: What Else Can I Do with My Law Degree?
Career Insight

But I Don’t Want to Work in a Law Firm: What Else Can I Do with My Law Degree?

Not every lawyer loves to argue. And not every lawyer is meant to follow the traditional route of legal practice.For the longest time, we were made to believe that once you get your law degree, the next automatic step is litigation or working as a corporate lawyer in a law firm. But that is not the only path. In fact, it is just one of many.The truth is a law degree is one of the most versatile degrees you can have. You gain skills such as critical thinking, research, negotiation, drafting, risk assessment, problem-solving which are valuable far beyond the courtroom.So if you’re asking, “What else can I do?” Here are some alternatives:1. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)You can build a career as an arbitrator, mediator, or conciliator helping parties resolve disputes without going through the long, expensive, and emotionally draining process of litigation. ADR is growing rapidly, and skilled Practitioners are in high demand. As a ADR Practitioner, you act as a neutral third party. You’ll facilitate intense negotiations between parties—ranging from family disputes to multi-million dollar commercial conflicts—to reach a settlement. This role will be a good fit for the lawyer who prefers problem-solving over fighting. It will require great emotional intelligence and high-level negotiation. 2. Corporate Governance & Company SecretaryshipThis role is the "conscience" of a corporation. While a litigator handles external disputes, a Company Secretary ensures the internal engine runs smoothly and legally. In this role, you will be advising the Board of Directors on their legal duties. You'll manage share capital changes, draft complex corporate resolutions, and ensure the company complies with the CAMA 2020 or relevant jurisdictional laws. It rewards those who are highly organized, detail-oriented, and It’s the perfect path for the lawyer who loves the intellectual challenge of the law. 3. Regulatory Compliance & Risk ManagementEvery serious organization such as banks, fintech companies, oil and gas firms, NGOs, startups etc must comply with laws and regulations. As a compliance officer (often called an in-house counsel), your job is to monitor company activities to ensure they meet the standards of government agencies. You will help businesses understand regulatory requirements, manage risk, create internal policies, and avoid legal trouble before it starts. Instead of reacting to disputes, you prevent them. Compliance professionals are especially in demand in highly regulated industries like finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and energy. It’s a stable, highly respected career path that rewards your ability to spot a red flag from a mile away.4. Policy Analysis & Government RelationsIf you’re passionate about social impact or governance, or If you have ever read a new government regulation and immediately started thinking about its loopholes or its impact on the economy, policy advisory might just be for you. Policy advisors work with government bodies, NGOs, think tank, and even International organisations, to research, draft, and analyse policies and legislation. In this field, you’ll spend your time researching new Executive Orders or legislative bills, writing position papers, and meeting with stakeholders to influence how laws are shaped before they are even passed. It utilizes your heavy research and drafting skills to impact society at scale and this path is powerful for lawyers who care about reform, development, and public interest work.5. Communications & Business DevelopmentLawyers are notoriously difficult to market to, so in this role, you’ll be creating content calendars and strategy for lawyers or their law firms. In today’s digital world, every serious brand or firm needs a strong online presence. You can leverage your legal knowledge and writing skills to create articles, newsletters, website content, and thought leadership pieces that position lawyers and firms as authorities in their field. Because you understand the language of the profession, you can write hooks that grab a High Net-worth Client's attention without offending the Rules of Professional Conduct. It’s a creative outlet for those who enjoy audience psychology and the beauty of business development.📌 Pro Tip for Your Career: > Most of the roles listed above are not found on traditional job sites. That's why we built TR Thrive to be the ultimate career hub for Nigerian lawyers.  Join the TR Thrive Community to get exclusive access to 1,000+ curated jobs, opportunities, events, scholarships and legal gigs.6. Legal Technology & OperationsThis area focuses on using technology to improve how legal work is done. It’s for lawyers who question manual processes and look for smarter, more efficient systems. You might manage digital platforms for legal professionals, help law firms use tools like AI for contract review, or work with startups building technology that improves access to justice. It’s a good fit for people who think logically, enjoy solving process problems, and like working in innovative, fast-moving environments.7. Virtual Legal AssistanceYou can provide remote support to lawyers, law firms, and even in-house legal teams by handling tasks such as document preparation, contract drafting and review, compliance checks, legal research, and case file management. With the rise of remote work and digital legal tools, many lawyers and firms now outsource parts of their legal workflow to virtual legal assistants. Virtual legal assistance can also involve managing legal calendars, preparing court filings, conducting due diligence, and supporting transactional work. It is a flexible option for lawyers who want autonomy, remote work opportunities, or the ability to work with multiple clients across different jurisdictions.8. Business ConsultingAs a (legal) business consultant, you provide expert legal guidance to businesses, startups, organizations, or even government agencies on specific legal or regulatory matters. This work can include advising on corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, contract strategy, governance frameworks, policy development, risk management, and operational legal issues. Consulting often intersects with business strategy, which means you may work closely with executives, founders, and decision-makers. It allows you to apply your legal knowledge in a broader advisory role and is particularly suited for lawyers who enjoy problem-solving, strategic thinking, and working across different industries.9. AcademiaAnother meaningful path for lawyers is academia. This involves teaching law, conducting legal research, and contributing to the development of legal scholarship either in a university or at the Nigerian Law School. As a lecturer or professor, you may teach university courses, supervise research, publish journal articles, write textbooks, or participate in policy discussions and law reform initiatives. For lawyers who enjoy research, writing, and intellectual debate, academia provides an opportunity to influence the future of the legal profession while mentoring the next generation of lawyers.10. JudiciaryFor lawyers interested in public service and the administration of justice, the judiciary offers a distinguished career path. Judges are responsible for interpreting the law, resolving disputes, and ensuring that justice is applied fairly and impartially. The journey to the bench typically begins with several years of legal practice, where a lawyer builds strong professional experience and a reputation for integrity and competence. A judicial career is suited for lawyers who value fairness, critical thinking, and public responsibility. And this list is still not exhaustive. You can explore much more areas around emerging industries.There is no single “correct” way to be a lawyer, so do not limit yourself to the traditional route.The legal profession is evolving. The economy is evolving. Opportunities are expanding.If you’re ready to see what’s actually out there, you can browse the latest non-traditional legal roles on the Thrive Job Board.Your law degree can take you anywhere. You just have to be willing to see beyond the firm.
