Message: <blockquote data-quote="Meg - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 217709" data-attributes="member: 42302">Good afternoon.As a precursor to answering your question, I think it is important to highlight that I worked in a very specific part of the Civil Service, in the Competition and Markets Authority, one of who's main functions is to regulate mergers. As such, much of my time spent in the Civil Service was concerned with transactional work, and I essentially specialised as an AT lawyer from day one of my TC which is highly unusual. I only make this point because, where you currently work in the Civil Service will determine the degree of transferability of your existing legal knowledge to transactional work. That element aside, the CMA was invaluable to my professional growth because it provided me with the supportive environment necessary for someone very junior to learn how to contribute in front of large numbers of highly experienced colleagues. Due to the magnitude of the work undertaken by the CMA, especially in terms of its market studies and investigations, I also was given the opportunity to improve my abilities as a team player - to anticipate requests and colleagues' needs, to be responsible for all the detail and correspondence on specific points, and to understand how my small contributions related to the overall project.Hope that helps.BestMeg</blockquote>
