Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 210084" data-attributes="member: 36777">There are a couple of Westlaw/Practical Law practice area resources I have referred to and that you should consider, I will list them bellow:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"><a href="https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/4-382-1763?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)#co_anchor_a84753" target="_blank">The UK Quick Guides</a>: this is meant to give a quick snapshot of what the work of the given practice area looks like. However, for some practice areas this will not be sufficiently comprehensive to give you a good understanding - for instance, on a quick look it seems to me that the competition guide might suffice, but the corporate one will very likely not. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"><a href="https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/Browse/Home/Resources/Practicenotes?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)" target="_blank">The UK Practice Area Notes:</a> this will provide you with the most detailed and comprehensive information on all that is relevant for a major practice area in the UK legal market. That said, the disadvantage is that it is not under each practice area heading there will be a lot of different notes - some treating more general subjects that will be useful for you (ie 'Overview of UK takeovers') while some are so specific they may not be too relevant for anything you will be involved in (ie 'Use of material adverse change clauses in acquisitions'). Thus, for these guides you should use the search bar and filters to find the best resources. Perhaps the best way to do it is to go to Practical Law and use the Browse Menu function, then click on UK practice areas, and then select the relevant one. This will give you a significantly more organized list of resources for overviews/specific subparts of each practice area and should be thus easier to navigate (I have a link <a href="https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/Browse/Home/Practice/Corporate?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&comp=pluk" target="_blank">here </a>to what the UK corporate page looks like to give you some indication). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"><a href="https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/w-001-0045?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)" target="_blank">Global/US Practice Area Essentials:</a> the best in-between resources (in terms of ease of navigation and comprehensiveness) are the Practice Area Essentials, but, unfortunately, they are not published with a UK focus but with a US one. That said, at least for PE/private M&A the differences between deals in the two jurisdictions are not seen as huge; and as such I think these can still be useful resources. </li> </ol></blockquote>
