I do some fund formation work (I work at a large firm in PE group). It’s like most corporate formation work, but mostly focused on LPs and LLCs. Then there’s handling investor docs and doing state and sec securities filings as needed. If you are doing corporate work now it’s easy to pick up
I made the move in-house about 5 years and will never look back. I’ve never worked in finance, but the quality of life I’ve experienced is much better than at a firm. I only wish I’d known about roles like these earlier in my career.
Agreed. I’ve worked in-house about 6 years. The work-life balance is worth the financial trade to me.
Did you ask them your question about duties and what the role would look like day to day?
I can only speculate being on the opposite investing side for clients at a law firm.
If they’re unwilling to be transparent with you or provide information about what a day to day schedule or routine would be I would reconsider making the move.
I’m in a large Plaintiff firm. My previous firm was small, solo boutique. Yes, you work longer hours, but with right firm, you learn so much so fast. Would I go back to small solo practitioner? Probably not! Coming from a corporate background, the large firm is definitely mir corporate-like. Much better work-life balance. Cases not as complex, so it’s a trade off. Most insurance defense paralegals I know that have done plaintiff work say, it’s too much work,” and they’ll never go back to plaintiff side. I agree, plaintiff side is a lot if work, but I still enjoy it; Been at it 12 years, but would consider something like IP, real estate, or corporate paralegal, if given the opportunity.
