Transitioning from Law to Ibanking

Hey folks, just wondering if anyone here have any thoughts on transitioning from law to ibanking. Do you guys have any collegues who have done so? Is working 3-4 years at a top-5 firm enough to land a senior associate position?

I would say yes

Have a few ppl at the office who worked at top law firms. They bring a lot of expertise and insight onto deals and are valued. Only thing is they lack technical finance knowledge (i.e. simple modelling skills) so unless you want analysts laughing at you then you'll have to work hard to get up the curve.
