Message: <blockquote data-quote="HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh" data-source="post: 44504" data-attributes="member: 8899">Thanks so much NickMcK, you’ve given me loads to think about! Im finding bouncing things off on here so helpful, and bringing me a lot of clarity around strengths and area to develop. Unfortunately not in a strong position with my current role to discuss career change, although (staying vague) I am taking on a lot of legal-related projects shortly anyway. I think I’m going to make a big push this year, and if I don’t get anywhere I’ll work on getting extra experience over summer/AL to plug the gaps and reapply, possibly starting GDL part time then too. Lots of good similarities between lobbying and legal in terms of what you do for clients, strategy, risks vs opportunities, creative solutions etc. Will also bring my BD work in here too. Have been looking on the phrasing of this and will get that reviewed by a lawyer. Court suggestion is v good and something I hadn’t actually considered—I have attended quite a few mock proceedings (arbitrations, mediations) but not actual court case, and have very little exposure to straight up litigation. I could however talk about seeing the role of counsel in action, and the different pros and cons of different modes of dispute resolution for meeting different client needs? Hadn’t thought of this at all as an area to discuss but could actually be a good path! I do have a bit of experience around assisting legal drafting and some work on contracts, I hadn’t previously pulled these out but they might actually be helpful? Great tips on private client, I need to look into some of this more—a few associates have pushed me towards it but I definitely need to get a better understanding of the day to day. I’m hoping the why interested in “commercial” as an issue shouldn’t be too much of an issue, I’ve been looking into the framing of this but thankfully much of my legal experience was really about law as a business, law as an export, rule of law for investment issues—basically very much focused on the commercial aspects of law. Need to work on evidence for the actual practise of law—my only real evidence here is working with lawyers on legal amendments and some contract work that I unfortunately can’t really talk about in interviews! Basically a lot here for me to think about, this is so incredibly helpful thank you! I feel like i have at least a couple of strong points to build on, if I can deal with the gaps...</blockquote>
