Law is elitist and toxic, as the forumers here can attest. Boy am I glad I left for the inhouse life to become the client without getting sucked into the whole whirlpool of prestige w horing.

Making the jump was quite the surreal experience - when I was in private practice, I thought lawyers like myself knew everything. It's only after stepping out of the bubble then you realize how little lawyers actually know about how their clients work. Even those specialist law firms/teams that claim to be sectorial or industry 'experts'. a good amount of it is really marketing fluff; they're 'faking' their 'deep expertise' in a space.
