Greener Grass (Corp to Lit)?
Anyone switch from a corporate practice to litigation as a biglaw junior and have it go well? Currently not liking transactional, but never tried litigation during my summer. I think my firm would let me change though.

Would consider why you're not happy in corporate and if the lit work you'd do as a junior would actually be more fulfilling.

Re: Greener Grass (Corp to Lit)?
I have heard of people switching in either direction and it really depends on each person, I don't think there is one that is necessarily "better". If you haven't tried litigation before, I would hesitate to reach out yet about switching your entire practice without some more in-depth thinking. Maybe find some pro bono litigation projects and see how you like it. Once you have changed over, assuming they allow it, I would imagine it is much more difficult to switch back to corporate.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 12:14 amAnyone switch from a corporate practice to litigation as a biglaw junior and have it go well?
