Can you do some pro bono litigation or some lit case for a bit to get some experience? Plaintiffs firms can have higher expectations on associates to lead deps, draft motions, and negotiate discovery because our teams are much smaller. There’s not a lot of handholding. It can be overwhelming even for big law litigation associates, because the responsibilities/expectations are like jumping up in class years.
You’ll need to demonstrate why you want to do plaintiffs work in your cover letter/interviews.
I transitioned from big law and now do hiring for my firm, but we can be skeptical of people who might just be trying to escape big law because they’re burned out. Not having any litigation experience at all would raise eyebrows.
First- are you willing to take a pay cut? Only partners generally earn big law money. Second- doesn’t matter re experience. Just start applying. Every PI and ID outlet is looking for bodies.
