Hello! Yes sure. I think the biggest selling factor for Ropes & Gray is our private capital expertise. If you want to be a commercial lawyer and work with big businesses and banks on transactional deals, then Ropes & Gray is definitely the place for you. You can get stuck in and have a lot of exposure to the deals. We have a small trainee cohort of 12 trainees per year, which means leaner teams and more responsibility for trainees. You won't become a cog in the wheel. We have offices all over America as well as in Asia. We also have our London and Dublin offices. It is very likely you will be working with colleagues in the US and Asia on deals, as well as lawyers in other jurisdictions around the globe. Whilst, private equity is our focus in London, we have other practice groups that have their own clients and work such as life sciences, data regulation, anti-trust and asset management. This means you will get a good exposure as a corporate lawyer. Pro-bono is also something we encourage all our lawyers (especially our trainees) to get involved with. It will provide you with transferable skills you can put into your role as a corporate lawyer. We have worked with many charities and organisations, such as the Windrush Compensation Scheme to APPEAL.
