    Worth also thinking about the specific role of commercial lawyers in M&A deals - protecting against risks, structuring loan agreements, identifying legal issues at due diligence stage and resolving them (eg assets, liabilities, pending litigation etc) and so on

    A question for paralegals doing vacation schemes

    It depends on the firm really. I'm paralegalling for a big firm rn and they were super chill about me booking time off for interviews, assessment days and so on. Most of the time, I could just do the interviews/assessments during my lunch breaks and then make up the time. Equally, they were...
