Lawyers
Corporate partner Ben Goodchild authored an article, “What Matters on Big M&A Deals,” detailing how junior M&A attorneys can stand out when working on large M&A transactions. In the piece, published on May 12 in Vault’s law blog, Ben discusses how great M&A lawyers possess an all-encompassing view of each deal, are always ready to improvise and bring a wide variety of skills to the table. He also explains how Paul, Weiss’s approach to M&A prepares associates to excel from day one.
“At Paul, Weiss, we run lean deal teams, and that’s not just about efficiency. It means junior lawyers get real exposure from the start,” Ben says. “You’re not stuck doing diligence in isolation; you’re on the calls, in the meetings and seeing the full picture of how a deal comes together. You don’t just learn the legal steps, you learn to think like a trusted advisor.”
