DESCRIPTION
Corporate law is an incredibly broad area of the law. And your day-to-day practice could vary wildly between firms and specialties. Wilson provides some important guidance on the world of mergers and acquisitions--and in particular, the world of life sciences M&A.
- What does “mergers & acquisitions” mean as a legal practice?
- What type of clients do M&A lawyers work with?
- How are the work and the legal issues different in your M&A practice because your clients are tech and life sciences companies (vs other kinds of companies)?
- How did you choose M&A as your specialty? How did you choose to concentrate your work on tech and life sciences clients?
- You work in different offices of the same firm – can you talk about how collaboration works across offices?
- What does your typical day look like? Is that different based on your roles as partner or associate?
- What advice would you give a law student looking to join an M&A practice?
