As someone deeply involved in forensic accounting, I'm thinking about a pivot to legal consulting. Does anyone have experience or advice on bridging over to this field? What additional qualifications did you pursue?

Do you mean expert witness work? If you do typically your experience as a forensic accounting together with an accounting qualification should be enough to get you a job at a forensic accounting firm specialising in expert witness work. Many firms do both so you could always try to get into the investigations side with a view to getting an internal transfer.
