Future Career Path?

[cpatolaw]

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’d appreciate some advice from those with experience in the field about possible career paths. I currently work in Disputes Advisory (independent‑expert engagements) at a Big Four firm and hold both the CPA and CFE designations; I’m also pursuing the CBV.

I was recently accepted to Windsor Law and am exploring how I might blend my financial background with a legal career, potentially in Big Law. Because my current role involves frequent collaboration with litigators, —or a related practice that draws on accounting and valuation expertise—seems like a natural fit, but I’m not entirely sure what the day‑to‑day would look like.

If anyone has insight into practice areas that leverage strong financial skills—such as commercial litigation, securities enforcement, white‑collar defence, or insolvency—I'd be grateful to hear your experiences and recommendations.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

This is not my area of law. It might help if you told us why you decided to get your law degree. Was it for a salary increase (nothing wrong with that)? Was it because you were bored in finance and looking for something different? What were you hoping to get out of it?
