[QUOTE="al97, post: 151542, member: 29424"] Hello, it's good to be back on TCLA and on this thread. Sorry that I've been away for the past few days. Good news is I received two interview invitations for paralegal roles! One is for a PE-focused firm and another is a tax-focused firm. Simultaneously, I also submitted an app for Cleary and Sidley, attending events in between. Although I’m absolutely exhausted, I'm grateful to be in a good state of mind and I hope all who are rushing your application are the same. Finally, my deepest condolences for all the lives we lost during the recent horrifying events. 19 Oct - Commercial Awareness - Tech Topic: Diplomacy that led to the victory of Microsoft-Activision Blizzard In a nutshell, Microsoft won after 21 months of elbowing with the CMA. The FT reported its diplomacy strategy, which I will summarise in the following 2 points Critics: Critics claimed that Microsoft artificially lowered its taxes by paying in low-tax countries and demanded $29bn back. Microsoft’s moral high ground campaign is diverting attention from its faults that causes cyber security issues The primary factor that led to the victory was Microsoft’s compromise. Microsoft’s compromise to the CMA is to sell Activision’s cloud streaming rights to a French rival – Ubisoft. That means Microsoft does not have monopoly dominance over AB’s games like World of Warcraft, Diablo on its own cloud gaming platform, Xbox. [LIST=1] [*]Microsoft has been building relationships with policy officials for many years [*]They have a humongous team of diplomats influencing policy officials who are working on AI regulations, cyber defence, and protection of elections. [*]They set up an office in UN, which takes a billion a year to run. Ukraine President Zelensky paid a visit to the office to convince Microsoft to invest in Ukraine. [*]Director and legal officer, Smith, engagement with policy discussions led to a global stage. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
