[QUOTE="Alex - Paul Weiss, post: 217706, member: 42284"] Thanks for your question Camryn. On growth I think the main point is that they want it to be a long-term success/sustainable, and therefore are putting in place excellent training etc. to nurture every lawyer here. From an M&A perspective, you have to go to training regardless of how senior an associate you are on and there is a huge focus on this. They have additional training sessions for more junior lawyers on the fundamentals so every base is covered. Given we do not yet have trainees, all of our growth from a headcount perspective has come from hiring laterally. In M&A, everyone has gelled really well, people are incredibly approachable, regardless of the firm they have come from. We have recently hired litigation partners, and are equally looking to build out that practice area. On secondaries - yes with the caveat that often LPs/portcos don't tend to like continuation funds as they aren't a true "exit" as the sponsor will continue to hold an interest in the company (albeit via a different fund).

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