Law firm exit opportunities

<p>I have done some more research and found that quite a few law firm web sites say that they have alum who are working for investment banks. I thought that the only way into ibanking was either right after undergrad or right after mba? There is also an article on vault.com i looked at that talks about this.</p>

<p>But I still don't really understand how you would get into ibanking after working at a law firm. And once you are there would they put you on the track to become md? It also seems like quite a few managing directors at PE firms worked at law firms before they started PE? How did they get into that feild?</p>
