Is there such a thing as a fifth year lit associate at a V10 switching to corporate within the V100? Obviously rare but curious if anyone has seen it.

Probably much different but thought I’d try. I’m a 3rd year lit associate from a specialty firm who just switched to corporate V50 without a class cut.

Yes I’m considered a mid level. Environmental corp

Yes, have seen, is rare-ish, but 5ths often take a haircut for this, and this for their benefit--their skills are not at 5th when they switch

CFIUS and foreign direct investment work are housed under lit a lot of times, but they involve doing regulatory work on deals. They can be good bridge practices when going from lot to corporate.

If you manage me, let me know how. I’ve really only heard of it when someone moved within the firm as opposed to an entirely new firm.

I couldn't stand biglaw litigation, drafting briefs, arguing before a judge, none of it was for me. I knew I wanted to do corporate and then lucked into a relatively nice area of corporate.

Ive toyed with the idea of doing a 2-3 year stint in RX IB at Houlian or a similar MM or EB but just am not sure if that's even needed. Anyone have some insight or suggestions they could offer? Im all ears

One thing that irks me about my firm is that it does not give lateral associates like myself credit for federal clerkships for purposes of advancement/seniority.
