There is a flourishing market in corp law, firms make money, its harder now to get in cause hiring is slowing down due to AI but theres still more vacancies today than ever before its just growing at a slower rate ( refer to yearly bar and bench hiring data ).
It is only harder to get jobs as many more law schools compete and its not as simple as clear clat and get in, you need to do well in your internships or do exceptionally well in a top 5 nlu to guarantee a t1.
Just because things have gotten harder due to increased competition does not mean a market is saturated when its still growing.
Litigate - court craft is difficult for AI to pickup or replicate (currently at least), or get into something folks are less attracted to like tax, white collar, employment law or real estate if you have to.
