Business Law without background in Business? Forum

[RamTitan]

Corporate law? Requires zero business background.

Business decisions are made by guys like me. Don't worry, I have data and have done the forecasts, ROI and evaluation of business risk. I don't need lawyers to help with that. You guys aren't qualified.

I need lawyers to make sure: (a) my crazy schemes don't get us sued/arrested and (b) to make sure I can hold other parties accountable in a contract.

I am interested in your advice as it pertains to the above. I have zero interest in your evaluation of my business judgment.

Lol, you sound insufferable

If you want to work in corporate law, you need to work on turning that frown upside-down.

I'm not sure if T14 will be possible.

Gotta take the LSAT, taking in December and again in the Fall. I'm sure I'll hit my max score one of those two times, you can't fuck that thing up twice.

Famous last words...

+100/180

Heh. Maybe so... and yet this is exactly how business leaders think about attorneys: as a supporting function.

EDIT: by the way, I new several friends from law school who were really pissed about this. My favorite quote: "I'm so much smarter than these business guys yet they make more than me and work less."
Yeah, friend, maybe so... now don't you have a contract to go review?

Sure, just at HR, marketing, etc. are as well; supporting functions of a business. This is not a wrong sentiment obviously. But that doesn't change the fact that you sound insufferable.

With that said, if your lawyer friend feels that way, then he should probably should start his own business or make a career transition instead of complaining

Heh. Well, fair enough.

I do think my answer was rather on point for the OP, though.

He may sound like a dick, but this is tough love. Too many 0Ls who dont want to do math go to law school because they think it will eventually let them backdoor into finance or some other business capacity or they will be doing some hybrid of business and law. It's just not like that, and the sooner more 0Ls realize this the better.

Heh, well, what did any of us know as 0L... or even 1Ls... Or 3Ls...

I thought I was going to be "MASTER LITIGATOR".

Fantasy:
"Mr. Jarvis: is this your signature?"
"Yes"
*Jr. Associate Voyager moves in for the kill*

Reality:
"Mr. Voyager: did you get my research memo edits?"
"Yes"
*Partner moves in to kill Voyager's weekend*

Dang.. I actually took the LSAT because I figured it was my way into finance without numbers on a test. Thanks for exposing this deception for what it truly is!!

Please refer to the original post.

At least some 1Ls do not know what being a "corporate attorney" means. I tried to help.

Why? Your previous posts really influenced me. As you said, I really wanted to backdoor into finance, but I now see that this isn't what happens!!

No, it is. Not saying that some lawyers don't make the switch, but the idea of the biglawyer who secretly wants to be a banker/consultant/strategic or the 0L who wants to go to law school because they think it will help them get law jobs and any other job they want are cliches at this point. That's just not how it works.
