Coach
Former controller of a global law firm. We had in-house eDiscovery and some lit support but no real forensic accounting work in-house (outside of the anti-money laundering policies and procedures that we had to do for our own trust accounts but this was a role in treasury).
In my experience, I wouldn’t want to be anything at a law firm but a lawyer. You will absolutely be treated as a second class citizen. If you want to do forensic work, do it at a consulting firm where you have path to ownership and personal growth. You will be totally locked in a dead end career while the people around you wildly profit from your efforts.
You mean just like bookkeeping for a law firm? Cause that’s very different from forensics work
I work at a cpa firm in family law litigation. So basically we do the accounting / numbers for a divorce case for the attorneys. we are still separate from the attorneys firms that we work with.
