Hi, anyone who went from procurement to law? I am wondering if getting into law will help me get better job opportunities in contracts management or import/export law. Need some advice if this is a good move, thank you.

I did not go from procurement to law… however I think a JD might give you better opportunities if your resume is lacking on the contract management end, but I personally would do an MBA instead. All in all as a procurement professional I don’t see the ROI for a JD if the end goal is contract management. Import/export law would be different. Obviously supply chain people cannot practice law. If you want to do international trade law, yes get your JD.

I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?
