Hi, transplant from BigLaw in NYC and I’m looking to lateral into a Chicago form of similar caliber. I’ve been working remotely here for about eight months and in that time I’ve fallen in love with the city and even got engaged. Any suggestions? For background, I am in a capital markets practice and I have a large interest in public company advisory/corporate governance work. Thanks in advance.
