Litigation -> PE/VC? Forum

Curious to hear if anyone has any experience successfully transitioning from a biglaw mid /senior level associate to in-house in a PE or VC firm. How did you make the transition? Are there any skill sets or credentials that the PE/VC is looking for?

Do you mean as an in-house legal person or a front-office role?

More like In-house legal role. But if you know of anyone who has successfully transitioned into the business side, do you mind sharing as well?

Litigation w/finance backgrounds for the business side lean slightly more towards hedge funds due to skill sets being slightly more applicable.

Also if you are at a good lit firm AND you understand finance extremely well, lit funding could be an opportunity.

There’s a fleetingly low amount of junior litigators with good finance experience so you’d be an out of the box candidate to lean into the portfolio management/underwriting side of the house.

A lot of in-house jobs turn into financial compliance. Be warned.

Do you mean the legal side of portfolio management / underwriting alone or including work on the business side as well?
