Any advice for a corporate senior associate who has realized too late they really dislike being a deal lawyer (fund formation practice without regulatory experience)? I am thinking about how I can try to shift my practice but feel a bit lost.

I am an 11-yr lawyer who is shifting from litigation to transactional. It’s easiest if you’re in a firm that has multiple different departments so you can synch up with one of the other practice groups and work your way in. It definitely helps if you have or develop relationships with others in the groups you want to work with. If you don’t have a bunch of different practice groups at your office, I’d say it’s much harder if you switch firms because they will expect you to go in as you are or treat you as a first year if you switch practices. But you could always start out at a new firm in your area and slowly switch over.
