Could you elaborate on what a regular day at work looks like for you? I’m contemplating switching practice areas (from M&A). I’ve obviously read up but personal accounts & anecdotes would be helpful. Thanks!

Please don’t switch. B&F as a practice area is extremely monotonous and it’s the same copy pasting work of loan documents, this agreement that agreement. Also, client retention and poaching is difficult higher up the ladder. I can vouch that M&A is much more interesting though haven’t worked personally.

Thanks for responding! I’m bored of marking up SPAs but it sounds like this might be worse :/

How would people rate the following in terms of ranking
Banking
Projects
M/A
Capital Markets
PE/VC
Competition
Funds
IP
Disputes + Arb

ranking on what basis, how interesting the work is? Why is disputes last on the list?

He/she is asking not making a statement

Transactional work is like this only...through every practice area.

Once you get a hang of it, it's routine work.

Hi I’m a banking and finance lawyer but I still feel like I don’t understand most of the intricacies and don’t have intuitive understanding of it. Could someone tell me what to read up on to bolster the same?

Another question for banking and finance lawyers
WHY?

Definitely switch- banking lawyers get jobs abroad and earn more
