I did 8 miserable years of ID and managed to jump to complex commercial litigation after that. But let me be clear, I had to absolutely claw and fight my way out of ID and it took years of trying. Don’t get pigeonholed
A friend sent me an email he got from a recruiter about an opening. I contacted the recruiter and he set up an interview, they seemed very interested in the fact that I had many years of litigation experience, had taken hundreds of depos, many hearings, conducted mediations, etc. ultimately I (not to brag) absolutely killed it in the interview and they offered me the job before close of business that day.
Yes
No, it doesn’t eliminate the opportunity. But you will have to overcome the stigma of PI work.
I did 2 years of ID, 6 years of Plaintiff-side PI, and now the last 8 years of complex commercial litigation. I was hired by the first firm I applied to after deciding to leave PI, but they definitely were reluctant. Ultimately I excelled, proved myself, and rose quickly, and I much prefer the work I do now. But there was definitely some skepticism before I started.
With the benefit of hindsight, I probably wouldn’t choose PI work if I had to do it over again. But it ultimately didn’t prevent me from getting a job in complex commercial litigation down the road.
Interesting how people think pi isn’t good practice. It’s a lot of bs
Plaintiff side injury work isn’t complex but business litigation is?
I’m glad it lead you to believe that because none of that is true. Let me respond in further kind. Why can’t you answer a simple question?
