I would suggest networking and trying to gather referals. This is a tough job market to be looking for a job in. Sometimes a referral can help you get your foot in the door.

Agreed.

What kind of litigation did you do? What kind of transaction practices do you want to move into? If you litigated on issues related to data breach, privacy, those positions are in high demand now

Mostly white collar and general commercial lit with some healthcare stuff mixed in here and there. Privacy is one area I’m interested, no experience. I Have been thinking of taking the CIPP to help with the pivot. Other than that - Tech transactions or lastly M&A since it seems like it’s the most attractive for in-house roles. Pretty open for the most part

Ditto above. What kind of litigation?

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
