Description: 
While almost all successful career transitions require a great deal of time and effort, pursuing a role with an AmLaw firm can feel particularly challenging for those who began their legal careers in different environments, such as government or public interest roles, or for those working at smaller or mid-sized law firms. So many positions indicate a strong preference for prior experience in a large law firm that you may question whether it is a worthwhile pursuit.  Come hear from associates who made the transition and learn the secret to landing with an AmLaw firm regardless of where you began your career.
