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.

Hope you like stupidly tight timelines if your team is going to be SOPA focused

If local practice, the most you can aspire to is SOPA adjudicator and SAL specialist lol
SOPA adjudicator more for glory of playing at being judge, the pay is like CLAS honorarium
SAL specialist sounds nice on your firm website, but need to take a lot of exams and don't really do much for BD imo. Construction law sector so small here anwyay
