Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing good..!!!


Indeed, you can function as a chief in any law office as they require. Your MBA will give you more possible organization. The chance of turning into a business chief will come after MBA. Working with a law office at first will be an extended job contrasted with different attorneys. You can move to the board, in a field, for example, Investment Banking or in a Business Development job.


Second, while a regulation degree isn't needed for the majority of the positions referenced above, law offices regularly enlist attorneys with legitimate insight (as well as MBAs or business foundations) for those positions. Why? The typical reasons are that clients need to enlist experts who have genuine industry experience. You couldn't recruit a "eatery advertising master" who has never worked in a café, OK? Assuming a business work in a law office requires in excess of a superficial comprehension of legitimate practice, the firm will more than likely need to fill that situation with an attorney. You should have a regulation degree assuming you need to "work at a law office" in any legitimate limit. (In the United States.)


In any case, a law office is a business, and it will recruit MBAs for the very reasons that different organizations do. They have showcasing offices, business improvement divisions, vital masterminds, etc. Nonetheless, two things ought to be noted: first, you won't ever have any value in the organization. The vast majority of states' morals rules deny non-attorneys from claiming any stake in a law office.


Hope this information helps you!!!

All the best!!

Hello Aspirant...

Hope you are doing good...

yes. you can work as a manager in any law firm as they require. Your MBA will give you more potential network. The opportunity of becoming a business decision-maker will come after MBA. Working with a law firm initially will be an expanded role compared to other lawyers. You can very well move to management, in a field such as Investment Banking or in a Business Development role.

Second, while a law degree is not required for many of the positions mentioned above, law firms frequently hire lawyers with legal experience (as well as MBAs or business backgrounds) for those positions. Why? The usual reasons are that clients want to hire consultants who have actual industry experience.


You wouldn't hire a "restaurant marketing expert" who has never worked in a restaurant, would you? If a business function in a law firm requires more than a cursory understanding of legal practice, the firm will almost certainly want to fill that position with a lawyer.

You must have a law degree if you want to "work at a law firm" in any legal capacity. (At least in the United States.)

However, a law firm is a business, and it will hire MBAs for the same reasons that other businesses do. They have marketing departments, business development departments, strategic thinkers, and so on.

However, two things should be noted: first, you will never have any equity in the company. Most (if not all) states' ethics rules prohibit non-lawyers from owning any stake in a law firm.

Hope this information helps you...

All the best.
