Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anthony - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 184960" data-attributes="member: 37313">Hi Matthew,Thank you for your questions.1. We have taken a very thoughtful approach to hiring and I think that has led to building an office which has a lot of team players who are committed to our ambitious growth plans in Europe. Partners encourage associates getting to know one another outside of transactions and we regularly have social activities which allows people to connect with colleagues in different teams. This has helped to ensure teams remain connected even whilst the office grows at a fast rate.2. Associates are strongly encouraged by partners and counsels to take on on responsibility whilst working on matters. However, they always remain on hand to support and guide associates whilst working on these new responsibilities.3. I am not sure what you mean by this? Associates are in specific practice areas i.e. M&A, Debt Finance, IP etc. and within these practice areas we advise sponsor clients and their portfolio companies across a range of industries and transaction types in relation to our relevant practice of law.4. In London we advise PE clients and their portfolio companies as well as major corporates on matters affecting the practice areas we cover. We would advise our clients in emerging tech to the extent they are focused on this area. Please see our general website and early careers website for more on the type of work done by the London office.5. Fostering diversity and inclusion has been key to our hiring and growth in London. We have also created a unique vacation scheme which aims to make access to corporate law more inclusive for people from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. Additionally, we are in the process of formally setting up affinity groups in London. Paul, Weiss has a rich history of supporting D&I in the US as well. I would encourage you to browse the PW website on this topic.6. We do not have a billable hours target. This sets us apart from other US law firms as there is more of a focus on delivering high quality work and client service. Whilst we are in this high growth phase we are encouraged to engage in activities which are not necessarily billable such as business development, pro bono and recruitment. This allows us to drive the firm forward. In terms of work/life balance, this allows associates to cultivate a better balance whilst understanding as an advisor we are a client first law firm.I will leave your last question for Paul.Kind regards,Anthony</blockquote>
