    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Joined an associate in Latham & Watkins’s corporate department: undertaking legal research, document review, and drafting. I investigated which business structure would be most appropriate for three individuals looking to start a business and considered why private equity clients are often reluctant to invest in limited liability partnerships. Moreover, I also worked on a Management Incentive Plan (MIP) Term Sheet Cross Reference and aligned it with the corresponding clauses in the target’s Articles of Associate and Shareholders’ Agreement.
