The firm really encourages lawyers of all levels of seniority to take initiative. One example of this is as regards Business Development. I was surprised about this as my initial reaction was to think "who do I possibly know that could become a client of PW" but the partners explained that clients are your peers, NQs now who is 12 years time could be GCs at PE Houses or PLCs. With that in mind, the partners have encouraged us to connect on LinkedIn with people, arrange coffees, transaction clearance celebrations drinks etc. To support this, we have a generous BD budget. Similarly with mentoring, we have a near £1,000 a year annual budget for hosting our mentors e.g. going out for supper. The AT Team has compulsory partner pairings for all associates and senior associate pairings for junior associates as well.2. Yes!!! I have been given more responsibility that I could possibly have imagined, or at times, thought I was capable of handling e.g. doing MJs for multi-billion dollars deals without supervision, marking up SPAs, drafting RFI Responses to regulators, being expected to participate in BD efforts, and drafting articles for publication in the international press to name a few examples.3. I was drawn to PW because it combined all the glamour (and benefits) of Big Law with a social conscience.BestMeg</blockquote>
