Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anthony - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 184856" data-attributes="member: 37313">Hello,Thanks for your questions. I will take the first and second questions.I think the firm is very good at hiring associates from a range of backgrounds and is committed to continuing this. From a diversity and inclusion perspective, the London office has hired associates from a range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. As we are developing the London office, we are in the process of establishing affinity groups in London. You may have seen in the news that we have recently hired Robert Powell as our Sustainability & ESG Director. Rob is working with associates and partners to officially establish affinity groups in London. You may have also seen our highly innovative vacation scheme which aims to remove socio-economic barriers to training at an elite law firm. These are just some examples of the firm's commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive elite law firm in London.I enjoy the commercial and fast-paced nature of PE transactions. As a PE lawyer you work with investment professionals on their most important investments, you also work with company management teams and guide them through the M&A process. This allows you to get a good understanding of a transaction as a whole, not just the legal aspects. Understanding the key drivers in a deal ultimately makes you a better adviser. PE transactions can be quite fast-paced which provides an exciting challenge. Being able to exceed client's expectations and becoming their trusted adviser is also very fulfilling.There is no one typical day as a PE lawyer! As a junior associate you may be involved with leading the due diligence process on an M&A transaction, preparing the first draft of a key transaction document, managing a signing or closing process on a transaction or leading the preparation and negotiation of ancillary transaction documents. You may even do all of these things in a day! Whilst the work can be challenging, it provides a great opportunity to learn and develop quickly.Kind regards,Anthony</blockquote>
