We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Some places have a FinTech focused practice which would resemble a Banking & Finance team more. Some places have a GenCorp team with a TMT advisory tagged on that work mostly on transactions, consulting specifically on the tech side. Some are focused on Telecom mandates, which is its own can of worms. IP is generally separated from TMT at this point, but some firms still include it with some teams focusing fully on IP.
In terms of gaining experience, it depends on where you want to end up. If your aim is to master this specific domain, joining a fully advisory practice like Trilegal is probably your best shot. If you want to gain more varied experience and have the option to switch to another parallel vertical later on, joining something like SAM or CAM is a better idea.
