Reply #15: Labor & Employment is always in demand from what I have seen.

I do finance, corporate, and M&A work, primarily, and work with a lot of labor attorneys in the process.

There are an equal number of attorneys who represent the unions and workers as represent the companies. The former tend to have smaller, boutique firms. The latter are usually found in the large firms.

Large firms are typically training grounds. There is an old saying about large firms, "they train the best and keep the rest."

If you can stomach the environment a large firm is a good place to gain experience. You definitely get paid well for learning.

Good luck.
