A trainee is likely to be supporting the analysis of the regulations, rather than giving independent adviceContentiousYou would typically assist with disclosure, draft chronologies and parts of witness statements, prepare bundles, and carry out research. Trainees will often contribute to building the case itself, but won't necessarily lead the strategy.TransactionalI'd say that trainees don't usually negotiate commercial terms. Instead, they run due diligence, draft some ancillary documents, manage checklists, and help co-ordinate signing and completion. The headline deal price is normally negotiated between the buyer and seller (often with input from investment bankers), rather than trainees.Overall, I'd say that trainees play a key supporting and coordination role across all areas, rather than leading things such as negotiations or strategy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
