How do people with odd call timings count their PQE? Firm’s discretion? I’ve heard mixed comments on this. Say you’re called in March. Do you turn your PQE next your March? Or become PQE 1 come August mass call?

What do you mean by 2PQE (because some have different definitions)? What is your year of call?

How does ur construction and built environment sector knowledge translate to exit ops? Whether to other practice areas like infrastructure n projects, or to inhouse industries?

Hope to hear some thoughts!

SOPA actions have very very tight timelines, expect to burn the midnight oil if your firm specialises in that.

Skills-wise not that much different from normal litigation/arbitration teams except you do a lot of document review. Your likely future roles will be in construction though, because construction teams pay a premium for construction-trained lawyers (and because nobody wants to do this field).

Exit is usually to construction in-house firms also.
