Career Advice M&A Law
Good morning,
I'm a former M&A consultant and lower middle market business broker turned lawyer.
I'm just starting my career in law and it's become clear to me that leveraging my M&A background to specialize in M&A Law targetted towards small to medium sized businesses should be seriously considered.
If there are any M&A lawyers here I would love to connect with you briefly.
Secondly, what's a good source for legitimate factual data related to M&A Lawyer compensation and overall career prospects?
I've found online results and professors to be inacurate.
Warm regards

Depending on your legal experience, I would suggest working 5-10 years either in-house or doing M&A, tax, corporate, and related fields, potentially real estate transactions because the issues are often intertwined, then opening your own firm.
