      Good work; no prospects in M&A

      Pros

      Working for market-leading PE clients on the full spectrum of corporate transactions. London Office Managing Partner is a good guy who values employees.

      Cons

      There are absolutely no partnership prospects in the London M&A team. The strategy is to hire laterals with an existing book of business or whose practice will otherwise complement the Firm’s existing client base. Unfortunately there was a perception among Associates that the Firm is not entirely genuine when it comes to partnership prospects in the London M&A team which leads to good Associates labouring extremely hard under entirely false pretences. Some straightforward honesty about this would be welcome by many.

      Pros

      Top tier PE clients, good quality work, bright colleagues, complex transactions, given autonomy, encouraged to be proactive, clients are sophisticated, not too hierarchical

      Cons

      Demanding, long hours, minimal mentoring, career progression or support from other lawyers, minimal secretarial support or paralegal support, political, not very collegiate.
