Lateral Help
Hi Everyone. I would really appreciate some guidance on the following. I am currently in a third year associate at a regional mid-sized firm, practicing employment litigation (defense side) (big secondary market). I want to know what kind of lateral options I have. There are a lot of associates from out firm who lateral to "biglaw" firms but I have one big program: crappy law school grades (tier 2). My understanding is that this is a very big limitation. Anyway to overcome this? What are my future options? Are there certain biglaw firms that will overlook grades? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
