[QUOTE="LM, post: 48053, member: 9535"] Thanks Sabma. In general, as often the London offices operate as satellite offices to the US HQ, the teams tend to be more Corporate focused, with much smaller teams in the advisory departments (e.g., EU, Competition and Trade, Employment or IP). This is primarily due to the fact that the Corporate transactions bring in the most revenue. Further, you tend to have less support services - by this, I mean less support from paralegals and from document management teams. These teams can be incredibly helpful when it comes to the more mundane tasks as a trainee (such as formatting client presentations as an example). Thus, as a trainee, you may find yourself at a US firm doing more mundane tasks that your counterparts at UK firms may not. While this may be perceived as a negative, due to the smaller teams, you will also have the opportunity to work closer with Partners and Associates. In my experience ... greater exposure = greater development. Let me know if you would like me to expand further on the above. [/QUOTE]
