Cap markets definitely exists, just in a different form. You’d probably be representing small caps doing much smaller capital raises. Much less debt offering work. More private placements/exempt offerings and taking small caps public. Can’t speak to bankruptcy, but that was my experience at a midsize.

Most practice areas exist at mid sized firms. It’s just on a different scale. You’re not doing the most sophisticated debtors’ side representations at smaller firms (or frankly outside two or three major shops) but you can still do bankruptcy. And your life will probably be significantly better than it would be at those major shops.
I moved from BigLaw to a mid sized (distributed) firm last year and continue to do mostly equity and some debt cap markets, including SEC-registered work for small and large clients. We also have bankruptcy lawyers. I enjoy doing the same work but without the bureaucracy and office politics of BigLaw.
Yeah feel that way often I do a mix of lit and Regulatory law and it's hard sometimes.
Bankruptcy absolutely exists at mid-size law firms.
