Creative Thinking in Law // Eimear McCann - Legal Tech Director and Law Lecturer Legally Different®

    • Careers

Eimear has certainly had a multi-faceted and non-linear path into and around law, which you will hear all about! From her early career as a writer to working in immigration law for a law centre to private practice to legal tech.
When Eimear began to feel stuck in private practice and craved a way out into something else, without anything on the table, her solution was “I’m just going to have to get really creative about how I get out of this” which I love – you will see that creativity is a common theme in Eimear’s journey and is something she is so passionate about in law. At this juncture, Eimear began by stripping out of the legal references in her CV to reimagine her experience – love this tip for getting a new perspective on experience, skills and purpose! That's a little taste of what you can expect in this conversation, which very much dives into the intersection between creativity and logic.
