Partners and senior associates always willing to explain matters and tasks in detail. Technical training/expertise is second to none – you will actually develop negotiation and drafting skills as compared to US firms where it’s same PE precedent docs.

The only thing I would say is that they should increase NQ pay, but I think like MC firms they’ve invested so much in the US, maybe not enough money to go around!

Fair enough. Horrible people to have on the other side. Die in a ditch over the most minor points every time I am on the other side, counterproductive towards getting any form of deal done and partners get overly animated about stuff (its a deal… im not shooting your dog).

That’s pretty cool, as is that the firm continues to be a nice and fun (as law firms go) place to work at.

And before someone squeals, I’m not a member of the firm’s HR, just an NQ that likes their job at Ashurst.
