Recent, current and future governments, combined with the Brexit fiasco and a general way of behaving by the political class has created enough fuel for litigation to burn like a melting nuclear reactor for the decades ahead.
There was a partner at my old firm. Let's call him Joe Smith. Joe did some general advisory work, but mostly sat as a NED for lots of French and Italian businesses. He racked in £5k/month times 20 and kicked up 50% into the partnership. He got to keep 100% of the Christmas gifts (he cleared about £20k worth of very nice wine each year).
Having said the above, I wouldn't have read law at all. I would have gone straight into work and the real world. Then travelled, learnt other languages (which I have done to an extent, but not as much as I would have liked) and not return to Britain.
It I had my time again I’d determinedly seek out a job which I could imagine actually laughing or smiling while doing. I don’t mean having a joke with colleagues in between doing work. I mean could I imagine actually smiling while working or laughing, enjoying levity, during a work conversation.
I can’t see that any area of legal practice would meet this criterion.
Only advice would be the same as I give now - even if you have done law as a degree, go and do another career and if you still fancy law, come and do your law shizzle. Don't choose this as your first option.

I'd like to specialise in Joe Smith Law.

I'd qualify and join a branch of the armed services as a lawyer.

What I have done tbh. I fell into law by accident like most people but I am, by and large, happy.
Otherwise, possibly shipping.

I reckon Lt-Col Dux and Capt Sailo would make a formidable team tbh.

what I do now. Except I might have tried to be a wig jockey. I pretty much do that anyway, but I'd have spent longer doing it, and it is fun.

If it still had to re-start in law, then I'd do what Tom Hagen did.
Or be 'outside' it and do bootlegging, or walk on the edge and apply to join one
of the secret intelligence services.

I can't think of anything. I was tempted to say "be a barrister", but that looks shit too..

Whatever pays the most. The job is boring, you're doing it because no other career pays anywhere near as well. Embrace that and earn.
