Need help figuring out Summer Associate Offer
I work at a civil defense firm currently that mostly does insurance defense with a few other types of law. I really want to practice water law but there’s only one attorney there that does water law and he’s probably going to retire within the next few years. Additionally he only has one or two water law cases at a time so any experience I would get would be fairly limited. This firm is offering me a pretty good package and are very mentorship focused which I appreciate. I just worry that if I don’t do water law out of Law School I won’t be as employable in the field if I am doing limited work. They have told me that all they need is two or three years from me to make employing me make sense with training which I think is fair I just don’t know if this is the right path for me if I want to specialize in water law. Any advice would be very helpful!
