Lately, I’ve been contemplating an LLM abroad to pivot toward an area I’m more passionate about, such as IP or tech law. However, the uncertainty about making such a transition, combined with the challenges of breaking into a new specialization, has been overwhelming.
If anyone has insights on leveraging corporate law experience to transition into IP or tech law, strategies for managing professional challenges, or advice on pursuing an LLM, I’d love to hear from you. Also, I did not gain much exprience after graduation other than some internships.
