I don’t think this would be a hard shift. You’ll have to learn some IP/technical background, but a lot of what tech trans groups do involves drafting corporate-type agreements, just with a focus on the technology/invention.

I’d love to help. I previously helped a candidate make a transition to tech trans from patent litigation. There are two firms in California that are known to allow candidates to make this pivot. I’d be happy to help you explore options with them.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.
