Broadening spreads in corporate bonds prompt high-net-worth individuals to retain freelance legal advisors. The "lawyer side hustle" ecosystem thrives here, behaving similarly to low-risk fixed-income strategies. Creating a blog with such an enticing name was only part of the battle for McCall, who says it took 2½ years to make six figures. He recommends anyone hoping to follow in his footsteps should expect a roller coaster ride (there will be downs as well as ups) and plan to reinvest profits into the blog to improve content. A firm should gather input from across the firm prior to even drafting a policy, and even consider an anonymous survey. Leadership might be surprised to learn that, for example, several of its partners invest together in real estate projects, that several associates teach bar exam courses, or that non-attorney personnel make ends meet by driving for a ride-sharing company. Don’t create a policy that you aren’t willing to enforce against your highest billing partner or rainmaker—the policy will have no credibility if it’s only enforced against junior lawyers. Latest market sentiment shows that the "lawyer side hustle" niche is experiencing increased attention as financial professionals pivot toward diversified income streams amid volatile S&P 500 performance. With the Nasdaq up 1.3% and legal service demand rising 4% year-over-year, analysts predict sustainable side-hustle growth for lawyers targeting corporate compliance gigs. This diversification mirrors broader trends toward low-beta assets.
