Switching from Corporate to Litigation?
My experience as a 1L SA was all litigation, and I liked it just fine and got good reviews. But I want to give corporate a try, and when I interviewed with my firm for 2L summer I requested M&A as my preferred practice group. If it turns out that I don't like it, or I am not cut out for corporate work, how easy is it to switch to litigation? And is there any stigma attached to a summer who does so? NYC V20.

Depends on your firm, how the SA program is structured, and how practice group assignments are made
Just say the firm

Re: Switching from Corporate to Litigation?
It definitely happens in both directions, but will depend on the market. A very early lateral also isn't out of the question, as firms often find themselves slightly short entry level manpower and would rather nab somebody who has already been biglaw vetted.
