NEP in international arbitration and public international law with about ten years of experience. Struggling to think of any real exit options. I can think of the UN, the State Department, ICSID and the World Bank. The only private sector job I can think of would be litigation finance for arbitrations. Is there anything else out there for someone like me?

That is what I’m saying.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well.
