Message: <blockquote data-quote="Meg - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 217704" data-attributes="member: 42302">Good afternoon. Taking each of your questions in turn: 1. The firm offers a huge variety of pro-bono opportunities, with associates at all levels encouraged to participate and contribute. I have volunteered at The Connection, for example, a charity providing the homeless with food, washing facilities, medical and rehabilitation services. Colleagues of mine in the AT Team have also dedicated their time to working on legal pro bono cases (frequently including those emanating from our US offices) including on matters as diverse as domestic violence, immigration and environmental law. My Brussels colleagues have also assisted the European Citizen's Rights, Involvement & Trust in connection with the organisation’s advocacy to create a European Citizenship mobility scheme. 2. Yes absolutely! Our AT Partners are keen that the group sees itself as one cohesive, integrated team servicing clients from the two major European HQs for AT law. As such, all transactions are advised on by associates based in both London and Brussels and team members of all levels of seniority regularly visit both offices. I am going to Brussels myself for the first time next month.3. I have found the mentoring programmes to have benefited me by providing an informal and confidential space for airing questions and concerns that I would not feel comfortable advertising to the entire team. I have been able to discuss how to implement specific feedback as well as ask for guidance on general approaches to work, time management, communication etc. While the AT Team has instituted formal mentoring arrangements with partners and senior associates, I have honestly developed such good relationships with a number of senior colleagues, that I now appreciate "mentoring" is happening on a daily basis, I just don't often realise it because our team is so friendly and not at all hierarchical.  Hope that helps!BestMeg</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
