We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
In most of the tier 1and well known law firms:
- You only get random research work (which you could have done sitting at home too)
- You don't get enough attention from the partners or associates which doesn't really help you grow
- You don't get trained for the work that you will actually do as an A0
So, it would be great if anyone could suggest some good M&A law firms where i can get proper training in relation to actual work done by an A0 in an M&A team so that I can be prepared by the time i graduate.
I highly suggest you relax and stick to aiming for a PPO rather than get any 'training'. Actual work you get as A0 is mostly going to be due diligence, which does not require cerebral functions, let alone any special training.
