You didn't go to law school to spend three years reviewing 401(k) plan documents in a windowless office. You should be advising private equity funds on their biggest deals, shaping DOL guidance that moves markets, and telling Goldman Sachs whether their structured product passes ERISA muster-not just running prohibited transaction checklists.
