Taking time off from practicing law can impact an attorney's future marketability. An attorney's ability to re-enter the legal job market depends on factors like their legal education, practice area expertise, years of experience, length of time away from practicing law, and how that time was spent. Current market conditions also influence opportunities. Attorneys can improve their chances of successfully re-entering by staying engaged with legal issues during their time off and considering demand in different locations when seeking new positions.

Carolyn Elefant, an attorney who owns a boutique energy law practice and freelance legal marketplace, writes to request that the Maryland State Bar Association rescind its 1992 ethics opinion prohibiting lawyers from marking up the costs of freelance attorneys. The opinion is outdated as the legal profession has embraced freelance arrangements and the gig economy. Allowing markups benefits clients through lower overall rates, solo and small firm lawyers by incentivizing the use of lower-cost freelancers, and freelance attorneys by providing them work opportunities. Most other ethics authorities, including the ABA, permit reasonable markups. Rescinding the opinion would bring Maryland in line with the modern legal industry while supporting cost-effective and flexible legal services.A Modern Look at Contractors v. Employees
