And yes, you will start out at the bottom. There's no way you will lateral to a midlevel position without prior legal experience; it doesn't work that way.

On a related note, your PB experience will definitely get you traction in the following practice areas: private client, wealth planning / asset management, trust and estates. Especially your extensive contacts with other private bankers.

Not many law firms have practice groups in this area here, after all this isn't London and there aren't that many dukes, duchesses and billionaire Russian oligarchs here (only rich Indonesians and they are usually shady).

Your best bet would be offshore firms: eg Ogier, Walkers, Harneys, Maples & Calder, Conyers.
