Practicing lawyer for 12 years in education law. Worked in Hollywood and have a degree in film/television. Also, have directed/produced independent films. So, I do have some Entertainment business experience already. Looking to do some Entertainment Law, specifically motion picture work. Can anyone recommend some good CLE courses or conferences I should check out? Any other advice that may be helpful?

Go and do. Really the only way to get that experience. Find an experienced entertaiment lawyer to supervise you. Yes, you will need to find the client.

Texas Bar Association puts on an EXCELLENT Film/TV CLE in Austin during the Austin Film Festival in October each year. I believe it's offered online, too. Very excellent and highly recommend!

Annual entertainment law conferences at UCLA, USC or Southwestern are good. I chose to go to one or two based on topics. Lots of valuable CLE and networking (it was breakout zoom sessions during zoom and was obviously not at the caliber of in-person networking).

Hi Fishes,

I am B.tech graduate and currently working in BPO sector in Accenture. I am looking to switch to an IT profile but having zero experience in IT sector. Please suggest how can I switch.

I'm working with an IT MNC in PMO profile.

Is it Bad to change Sector from 'IT' and moving into the same profile (PMO Support) but with the 'Investment Banking sector'?

Some people says once you move out from IT sector, there is no chance getting back to it. Is this really true?

Please assist, this question is eating me.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
