Typical humanities subjects passouts
I'd any day ppprefereumanities people over science people as M&A lawyers. Science stream peeps have a very narrow perspective i feel. They have in my experience consistently lacked foresight and range in terms of approaching a problem legally and in terms of business.
And an overwhelming majority of partners in T1 firms are science stream people.
Also, one should definitely hesitate to ask queries, because more often than not, the facts at hand along with the larger context of the transaction will answer all your queries. Queries should be limited to factual aspects, anything else is plain dumb to ask and you will end up looking stupid in front of the client.
