Hard Challenge

Hi All,

I am a Portuguese Lawyer trying to break into the Financial World.

My core practice is focused on Corporate Law, namely mergers and acquisitions, restructuring s, foreign investment, commercial and international contracts and Banking & Finance, handling all aspects of financing, banking and capital markets, including corporate finance, real estate financing, leveraged & acquisition finance, asset finance, project finance, structured finance, securitisation, mortgage lending, consumer credit including the issue and management of credit cards, documentary credit/trade finance and debt issues.

Any hint how to optimize - considering my resume (http://www.razume.com/documents/18662) - the set of skills in order to break into banking?

Thank you very much in advance,

Best

I don't know if I'd put that your firm is "The best...", this isn't about the firm, it's about you. I'd wait for someone else to confirm or deny this, though.
