Thanks for posting. My experience in connecting with attorneys in a new area is to attend local bar meetings in that specialty. In Los Angeles, for example, both the Beverly Hills Bar Association and the L.A. County Bar Association have lots of specialty groups.
I love litigation but I struggle with courtroom anxiety :( I end up in court just wanting to postpone so the anxiety goes away. I cant see myself doing anything else though.
I get serious anxiety before depositions, oral arguments and trial. I can't seem to get used to it and the only part of litigation I like is research and writing. If I can't handle on the serious anxiety and paranoia I think its time to make a career transition.
These are great strategies for moving from litigation to transactional practice, thanks for sharing them!
