[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you. As a recent grad going solo will be tough, but your prior experience might help.

The problem, of course, is that banks have the money to pay for larger firms. Could you turn your experience around and provide assistance to clients in dealing with banks - i.e., helping entrepreneurs/small businesses get through the process, maybe help them deal with compliance/reporting requirements/etc.?

There's a strong community of sole practitioners in the DC/MD/VA area, many of them came out of larger firms and work in their areas of specialization while referring clients to each other for other needs. You might want to talk to some corporate solo types who might have clients that could use your expertise.

I assume you're already trying to break into in-house positions are local banks/financial institutions. Consider other options like trade associations related to banking/finance, lobbying firms associated with your industry, etc.

You might also try consulting firms that have banking clients. They like lawyers and you would bring experience and cachet to their practice.

Good luck![/quote]
