I have a call with a legal recruiter for a trust and estate planning atty position I’m interested in. Aside from taking a class for wills trusts and estates in law school, I don’t have any experience as an attorney in this field but I think I would really enjoy it. Any advice for my call or for trying to go into this area of law? Civil lit experience, almost two years licensed.

I don’t think it matters if it’s an entry level position someone will train you and there are lots of CLEs on the subject. just be ready to explain why you’re interested and emphasize your eager to learn and a quick learner.

Is it entry level? Or are they willing to take laterals? Assuming you know. If so, just show you know what you’re talking about (like know a thing or two about the penumbra (you def don’t know the practice per se, but that’s ok), and demonstrate how your prior work fits in that penumbra such that hopping from the penumbra into that shadow is cake - not just that you “like” it). Harder because you’re going from lit to transxs I assume but will can find way.

Good luck to your recruiter

Does anybody else have clients that want to be “innovative” and “disruptive” but the second you share a really cool, insightful, big idea with them that’s on strategy they proceed to fumble like fools and just want to focus on basic block-and-tackle tactics and never actually do anything that’s innovative?

I’ve been dealing with this for years and I never understand why some clients sell themselves as disruptive when they’re scared to do anything daring or spend any money.
