Alex Knight always had a hunch that he would ultimately pursue something outside legal practice. So after graduating from Harvard Law School in 2018, and spending just under two years as a corporate associate at Fenwick & West out in California, Alex moved home to Utah to start working as Director of Strategic Initiatives at Best Company, where he is now Chief Revenue Officer.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Alex made the move from corporate associate to Director of Strategic initiatives at Best Company
  • The cultural and workstyle differences between legal practice at a large law firm and strategic work at a growing company
  • How Alex thought about the risk of leaving his stable legal career
  • Alex’s advice to law students on how to make the most of law school

Alex was a real pleasure to speak to and an awesome human being. Enjoy the convo!
