Hi guys! I had a bit of commercial question regarding the drop in M&A deals. We’ve seen how this affected Goldman Sachs, but what kind of effect will this have on law firms?

congrats for this! Can i ask you how was your second interview at gibson? what article did you get?
very conversational and chill interview, article was a random ft article but we only ended up talking about it for 5 minutes before moving on to a 20 min discussion about BLM and my political views lmfao (the partner for the article interview didn't even show up), but it depends on who interviews you for sure

Loooool no way this is real. Law firms are hideously woke. Hiring someone based on their political views 🚩

It won’t be about their political views, it will be more about how they can talk and discuss matters that impact them and their clients business. Being “woke” or not (absolutely hate that term, but to coin your phrase) has numerous implications for how both law firms and their clients operate. Even billion dollar investments have “wokeness” on some level written into their contracts.
