My main concern is that while I have a strong grasp of the relevant laws (Companies Act, IBC, RBI regulations, and contracts), I’ve never done corporate or banking internships before, so I lack hands-on deal and due diligence experience. However, I need to secure a new role before leaving my current position.
Would Partners entertain a lateral entry from a 1-year litigator for these teams? How can I best position my litigation background as an asset, and what practical transactional skills should I quickly pick up to prove I can handle the work? Any reality checks or advice would be greatly appreciated.
