When asked the inevitable "And what do you do? You may answer "I'm an attorney".Flesh it out. Tell a little story your conversation partner can get a handle on. Otherwise, they'll soon excuse themselves, preferring the snack back at the cheese tray.
Example:
Talking with a young mother:I'm an attorney. Our firm specialized in employement law. In fact, I'm now involved in a case where a company actually discharged a woman for taking extra maternity leave that was a medical necessity.
Talking with a business owner:I'm an attorney. Our firm specializes in employement law. My current case concerns an employer who is being sued by one of her staff for asking personal questions during the initial job interview.
