Another JD Trying to Make the Shift
I am an associate at a Canadian BigLaw firm looking to make the switch into an investment banking role.
I have some corporate finance experience from my pre-JD MBA, but have largely been out of finance since. Half of my current workload deals with bankruptcy/insolvency and corporate workouts.
financial modelling isn't greek to me, and I can use excel/VBA reasonably well--but my skills have not been battle tested in an i-banking setting.
I have searched the boards and there isn't much on the Canadian experience. Does anyone have any insight on how they made the switch?
Also, does anyone have any input on distressed-focused shops like Catalyst or Brookfield? I hear Greenhill does some distressed work, but I don't know whether Canada sees any of that work.
Thanks very much.
I'd recommend looking at M&A. Some of the best M&A bankers I've met have JD backgrounds and articled in securities / corp law.
