[QUOTE="LM, post: 48070, member: 9535"] Thanks [USER=2879]@Konstantinos[/USER]. I was seconded to my Firm's New York office during my fourth seat. I was strictly advising on US law, while also assisting UK teams with US deals. Overall, I found the working culture to be massively different; US Partners are much more hands on during a transaction as clients are more willing to pay their fee. Further, I found that client's tend to remain loyal to a Partner and thus business relationships are incredibly important. I also found there to be less of an "open door" policy. At the beginning of my secondment, I had to knock on every single office door, introduce myself and prove my worth. This can be daunting to some but I found it to be an incredible learning experience. My skin definitely became a lot thicker during the 6 months I spent in New York! Overall, I would say that any secondment is worthwhile, as it gives you a clearer understanding of how the Firm operates as a business and provides an opportunity to establish business connections.
