I have worked at the Supreme Court with an AOR for around 2 years. I am realising that while litigation is exciting, I need the money (and quickly). While I say this half-jokingly, like is getting serious. I am not sure if I have the risk-appetite needed to wait out the gestation period to get even some respectable money, consistently.
I understand that my best case scenario is dispute team but I would like to explore corp teams as well, if possible.
I would like to know if the lateral move to a decent-paying law firm is possible, especially in a corp team. If yes, then how should I go about it?
Also, how different is the pay between a Disputes team and others in a T1/T2 law firm?
Thanks!
