Big Law to Investment banking

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I read on these boards that Goldman and top Ibanks are recruting from top 5 law schools for associate possitions. But after actually working in Big Law for a few years how about transitioning to Banks or PE firms?</p>

<p>How common is the transition from doing M & A law at a big NYC firm that has the BB Ibanking firms as client (Skadden, Davis Polk, Sullivan and Cromwell) to either a bulge bracket ibank or a top PE type of firm?</p>

<p>I know that it is doable (Robert Rubin, Bruce Wassterstein) but how common is it? Also, on the alumni websites of firms such as Cravath and Davis Polk it says that they have alumni working as MDs at Goldman and Morgan Stanley? What would that career path be like?</p>

<p>If you tutor me, and if I score at least a 750 on the GMAT, I will give you $10,000. This is no joke.</p>

<p>Greetings!!!</p>

<p>I need you to come tutor me for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I am located in Tampa, Florida. My telephone number is: (813) 451-****. Basically, what I need is a very good GMAT instructor who has taken the real test no more than a year ago with a score of 720 or above.</p>

<p>If this is you, then read on…</p>

<p>I will pay you tutor me. This is how it works: You first tutor me for free until I take the real GMAT. If I score above a 650, you get $1,000 for all your trouble. But, if I score above a 700, you get $5,000. Finally, here’s the best part: If I score above a 750, you get $10,000. I am talking about cash, pure cash, coming out of my pocket for you to tutor me.</p>

<p>If you are excited so far, then read on…</p>

<p>I agree to pay you to come to Tampa, Florida. I agree to pay for the hotel and flight accommodations. I agree to pick you up in a limo, or my brand new 2005 Camry (your choice). You will then be escorted to your hotel room for preparation to tutor me the very next day. You will be served three meals a day. You will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with me at really good fancy restaurants. No, I am not talking about McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, but ten times better than that. You will enjoy for the next few weeks the hotel stay, and the food that I pay. </p>

<p>What happens after you tutor me…</p>

<p>When I see my unofficial score for the GMAT, I will then decide how much to pay you in cold cash. Then, you will be flying back home to tell all your friends about how much money you have made by tutoring me.</p>

<p>Have a nice weekend!</p>

<p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>P.S. If instead of going through the trouble to tutor me, if you take the GMAT for me and score a 650, 700, or 750, I will pay four times the amount mentioned above. This means you will get $4,000 for scoring a 650, $20,000 for scoring a 700, and $40,000 for scoring a 750. This is a quick way to make money for your helpfulness!</p>

<p>I know a number of people who have done it. It is not at all uncommon.
Sometimes when you're all around the table structuring or documenting a deal it's hard to remember who has what role anyway.</p>

<p>The people you've worked with on the banking side have to think highly of you, of course, and you'd have to impress them that you have the social, interpersonal and quantitative skills to succeed in that environment. </p>

<p>The documentation and legal aspects of a transaction are often quite important, but some transitioning lawyers may be surprised to learn that there's a lot more to it than that, and that actually they don't know everything.</p>

<p>Notwithstanding what I've just said though, the lawyers I've known who have transitioned have mostly been very successful, down the road. There are a couple of notable exceptions, now that I think about it.</p>

<p>A MBA and JD would be very useful in this transition.</p>
