I am looking for a position in Dispute team, I have a 2+ years of ex. Can anyone recommend the firms which are hiring ? I have a solid experience in Arbitration.
Hello Sir, (Law Fi) I would really appreciate if I can connect you over email !
I am only considering law firm because I think, as much as I like lit, my decision to get into it may have been premature. Realizing now that someone's gotta pay the bills. Will try to transition into a decent firm's disputes team in a year or so
in a dispute resolution team, doing mostly Arbitration. So, people who are doing lit do get hired at dispute resolution teams in law firms all the time, though it is quite common to be not given requisite credit for the experience. It is also quite different in many ways, most teams do much less quantity of matters than an independent lawyer, and it is just a bit different.
