If that's your problem, then don't worry, that won't happen. It's the nature of M&A teams to have work in cycles.
How is that possible,CAM generally has a lot or some of M&A work,rite?
Ofc you will get hired by abitger firm,if your Tier1 does not have that much m&a work figure out wheres the work and apply/switch to that firm.You would probably know about which firm does have better M&A deals and work if your firm doesn't.
Be grateful that in your free time, the partner is not forcing you to write some useless articles.

Also, agree with above comments, on giving it time. 4 months is too less, work comes in cycles..
Yaaa cause this sounds like the second rotation for a person. Not all law firms let you change teams this easily.
My problem is that I’m not doing much work so that means I won’t be around in the firm or that the partner’s team won’t exist anymore. The team also doesn’t really have that much work at the moment.
So, your problem in life that's keeping you up at night on LI is that you're getting 1L+ a month for doing no work? WOW.
But.. why would someone work at this place? I mean... WHY!? Sorry for my naivety. I am a second year student (5 year course).
Oh what I wouldn't give to know the name of this firm and the team.
Are you getting the same pay - if yes. Then it's 100 times better than overwork.
It's the nature of the job. M&A activity can swing both ways in extremes. Give it some time.
It has just been 10 months. And only 4 months with M&A. Give yourself and the firm a chance. If there is too much work, we cry and crib on LI. If there is no work, we cry and crib on LI. Just give things time.
