‘I want to quit my fashion designer job to become a corporate lawyer’

You’re insane, please seek professional help.

Of course you can become a lawyer if you want. Anyone with even a moderate amount of intelligence, a good work ethic and enough persistence will eventually get a training contract somewhere and doing IP for firms that represent fashion houses would be a good way of leveraging your background.

Beyond that, you’ve given us very little detail about your motivations and goals which makes it impossible to give you meaningful advice. You say your main area of interest is “corporate law particularly in tech” but what does that actually mean?

I get the sense you haven’t really thought this through. I think you’re just in a rut and feel like doing something else. Please give a career change as drastic as this the consideration it deserves.

I was a lawyer who worked in the fashion industry as an in house lawyer. But now I’m an interior decorator! So I’ve gone from law to the creative industries. If it’s something you are interested in, then have a chat to various people and law firms. See if you can do some work experience too. Don’t discount the experience you have.
