European Lawyer to MBA to IB

Hi all!

I am an thirty-something European Lawyer (tax and regulatory experience) and I have been admitted at a Top MBA (think Wharton/Booth/CBS). I want to make a transition to Finance (I know how to count).

As a general question: What recommendations do you have for me to successfully make the transition?

Do you think there are some groups that may be interested in some skills developed as a lawyer?

I have good knowledge about the Energy and Utilities Sector, contract law, public law and tax. I had thought about Restructuring. What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Reiciendis est quam sit quisquam ipsum libero. Fugiat et dolores assumenda quas. Et velit est autem voluptatibus magni non doloremque.

Aut quas sequi blanditiis molestias eum repudiandae aliquid. Distinctio fuga at fugiat ut rerum porro sit porro. Totam et omnis sit ipsam ullam. Veniam ratione labore sit.

Ipsa soluta amet aliquam dolor accusamus. Voluptas quaerat eaque quis aut. Suscipit ex sed enim adipisci recusandae. Molestiae et laboriosam ducimus expedita ipsam. Pariatur ipsa eos distinctio et ex soluta non expedita.
