I would think that someone who's been doing plaintiff side work can bring valuable skills and perspectives to a defense firm, but I heard that it is not easy for a plaintiff securities lawyer to transition to a biglaw defense firm. is that true?

I know of people who did this after a few years in P side. Not to like V10 firms but to V100s. Yeah, they do like to have people with P-side perspective.

that's good to hear. there aren't that many plaintiff firms doing this stuff, if one's exit opportunities are solely restricted to other p-side firms.

you might be able to do this, but what are you going to do next? you're not going to make partner. you just going to transition back to a plaintiff firm again 2 years later?

i'd like to have the option of going to govt or in-house down the line; i think the path might be easier coming out of biglaw than straight from a plaintiff firm.

thanks bro.

ultimately feeling fortunate to have a job ITE, hopefully i can stick at this p firm for a few years, and then see where things stand.
