Message: <blockquote data-quote="Meg - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 217649" data-attributes="member: 42302">Good morning everyone! Thank you for being interested in applying to PW's Open Days, Vacation Schemes and Training Contracts. The firm is a fantastic place to work and looks forward to welcoming you all in the future!As context to the responses I will give to your questions, I thought it might be helpful to introduce myself and explain my background. I am an Associate in the Antitrust Team in London, with 1 years' PQE. Our work can broadly be categorised as follows: (i) Transactional i.e. ex-US Merger Control and Foreign Direct Investment assessment of M&A transactions (strategic or sponsor) (ii) Behavioural i.e. abuse of dominance and cartel investigations and (iii) Digital Regulation e.g. DMCCA or DMA. The vast majority of my work (and the team's at present) falls squarely in the Transactional category, which can broadly be segmented between PE clients which are typically high volume, low complexity filers and strategic acquirers (e.g. in oil & gas, pharma, semiconductors, telecomms etc.) seeking to buy their rivals, suppliers or customers, which can cause much more complex competitive issues based on "horizontal overlaps" and "vertical relationships" between the Parties. I trained (unusually) in the Civil Service with the competition regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority and moved into the private sector on qualification. Prior to entering the legal profession, I worked internationally in the Thoroughbred horseracing industry. At university, I studied History. As this hopefully exemplifies, taking the road less travelled in your educational and professional journey is no impediment to becoming a lawyer, nor from joining a world-leading practice such as Paul, Weiss. I'm hear to help, so please ask anything that may be useful to you in future. BestMeg</blockquote>
