Nick Abrahams has had one of the most unconventional careers in law.


From starting a comedy club in Tokyo to attending film school in Los Angeles, helping run a dot-com during the boom (and bust), then returning to the law to become a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, Nick has built a powerful and unique personal brand.

We cover:

  • How a Tokyo comedy club and sitcom became part of Nick’s legal detour
  • What it was like working on ER and The West Wing
  • The lessons he learned during the dot-com crash
  • Why going “off-track” helped him build a standout legal career
  • The origin of Nick's business, LawPath and how it reached 500,000 customers
  • How AI is already changing how lawyers work
  • Why you don’t need a passion - you can build one through mastery
  • What separates thriving lawyers from grinding ones

Whether you’re just starting out in law, thinking about your next move, or curious how creativity, risk, and reinvention can lead to a career you actually enjoy this episode is for you.
