[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 184944, member: 36740"] Hey [USER=37381]@BV212002[/USER] , thank you so much for your questions! It’s great you’ve come here for career tips on switching from banking to law. Welcome to TCLA! The switch wouldn’t be particularly difficult in your case, as you already seem to have a solid foundation of the law firm application process, having completed a vacation scheme and other work experience. The addition of the BoE in your CV is also great. It gives you the opportunity to leverage your applications towards firms that are more transactional focused (Kirkland, Latham, Paul, Weiss, etc). Paul, Weis is actually live on our forum now, so feel free to drop them a couple of questions too! In terms of alternative paths to enter the legal field outside TCs, you could consider working as a paralegal for a while. This would help you build a lot of [B]soft[/B] skills prior to starting a TC, which law firms really value - especially if you paralegal at a major law firm. [/QUOTE]
