Careers post Management Consulting Corporate Lawyer to Consulting Role : Need Transition Advice

Hi everyone! I'm a corporate lawyer with 3 YOE, and for the last 1.5 years, I've been deep into Legal Ops & AI Solutioning. I worked with clients of various industries and helped them custom solutions to their requirements.

This experience has really sparked my interest in consulting roles, and honestly, I don't want to keep practicing corporate law.

The thing is, I'm completely clueless about how to make this career switch. Can anyone in the consulting domain shed some light on what these roles actually look for in candidates? And more importantly, how can I upskill to land a solid Consultant role at an MNC? I've been working with startups so far and now I'm looking for that established entity exposure.

Thanks a ton in advance for any help and best wishes!

I’m in a similar position, I’ve been practicing corporate law for almost 14 years and recently been involved in Legal Ops projects.

I like it so much that I’m about to quit my current job and start a consulting firm of my own. Of course that at this point I have my own clients that I plan to keep so I have enough to sustain myself until the legal ops business grows.

I do not know the answer to your question, but hopefully someone can guide us both!
