I understand that for PE sponsor-sided transactions, there is a lot of overlap in the work (as PE firms acquire other companies). However, if I'm applying to a firm like Skadden, is it fair to say that I am attracted to both their M&A and PE capabilities? I understand that for a public M&A transaction, things can be different. Most PE transactions are private/ if they are public, they tend to be take privates. I'm not precisely sure how a public M&A transaction will be different though other than the fact that there are listing rules/ takeover codes to be considered? Could someone explain what particularly a trainee does during a public M&A that is different to a private M&A transaction?</blockquote>
