That's awesome! You kind of mentioned this but how about his view on training at a US law firm v a magic circle firm? That seems to be a topic that comes up a lot.- Campbell44

Financial Crisis 2008
Impressive knowledge - did you study econ? I would only add a link to what happened with house prices to the crash. So many Americans had purchased houses that demand for housing fell before 2007.

Emerging Markets
Your first point is a big one. International companies are increasingly looking to operate in Asia/Africa and to navigate the different laws in those jurisdictions, they need lawyers to advise them. It then makes sense for law firms to follow suit, especially if they want to continue to work...- Campbell44

Are last minute TC applications a waste of time?
