I have 4 YOE defending class actions in cybersecurity/data privacy at a boutique firm. I have helped a bit with advisory/compliance work as well. Any chance I could make a move to biglaw doing something similar? I went to a law school ranked in the 70s, but was on Law Review and did pretty well.

Cyber, especially lit/class action, is the strongest group at my firm, v50. I don’t think you’d have any issue.

School prestige doesn’t matter as much for specialized groups especially at that midlevel range of experience. You should definitely get traction at v50-100 firms. Probably auto hired tbh

Please contact me
