Corporate partner Victoria Forrester wrote an article, “Five Reasons to Become a Private Funds Lawyer,” highlighting how Paul, Weiss’s private funds practice can be a good fit for young lawyers seeking a dynamic, collaborative and business-minded practice. In the article, published on November 7 in Vault’s law blog, Vicky discusses how the practice offers opportunities for lawyers to develop skills similar to those of in-house counsel, work collaboratively across practice groups, and foster client relationships, among other opportunities.
Vicky also speaks to her own experience as an associate in the group. “Practicing private funds at Paul, Weiss gave me space as an associate to grow as a leader, with professional support and exposure to major private equity funds,” Vicky said, noting that the practice is “simultaneously supportive and challenging—exactly what I needed to catapult my legal career early on.”
