It\u2019s an integral part of my day, providing a structure outside of office work, and allowing me to reset mentally for all upcoming tasks that day. Also, more likely than not, if I leave exercise until the evening, either a social or work-related commitment will inevitably arise!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.30am: <\/strong>I\u2019ll begin my 45-minute commute into the office. I\u2019ll typically try and use the time productively, whether that be quickly scanning any overnight emails, catching up on world news, or making a to-do list for the day ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.15am: <\/strong>After grabbing a quick morning coffee, I settle down to tackle the day\u2019s work. I will always have at least one task with which to begin the day, before further work begins flowing in. This can take the form of either non-client work, or billable work, although I prefer to finish the latter before logging off for the day where possible. As a trainee, one of my tasks is to manage and update an internal database of all public takeovers. This is a great way to keep on top of my commercial awareness, while also familiarising myself with the documents involved in the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.30am:<\/strong> The corporate team has been particularly busy during the past few months, and there are always multiple deals running simultaneously, so it\u2019s essential to keep on top of the multiple workstreams at all times. We are acting for the banks on a particular fundraising, so I dive into reviewing the verification notes of the admission document prepared by the lawyers representing the company. Having only previously acted for the company in fundraisings, as opposed to the banks in this case, it is intriguing to see the deal unfold from the opposite perspective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.00pm: <\/strong>I have been asked to conduct some research into whether a company is able to allot additional shares by way of a fundraise to dilute the control of a shareholder (also a director) who is acting incompetently, and the potential options which the company has regarding removing the troublesome individual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.00pm: <\/strong>After a productive few hours of work, it\u2019s time for some lunch; our office is surrounded by some great lunch spots. While I usually try and bring lunch from home to eat in the caf\u00e9, I decided to treat myself today. Myself and a couple of other trainees chose a lunch spot from the extensive options within the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.00pm: <\/strong>Currently, one of my biggest undertakings is managing the verification of a prospectus for our client company, as part of their IPO. Verification is a core part of a corporate trainee\u2019s role, and its importance cannot be understated. As is often the case with verification tasks, communication with the client is an ever-present feature, so emails and calls (phone\/Zoom\/Teams) are always ongoing. We are also working with our US colleagues on this deal, so I also have a call with our team from across the pond for some clarification on questions for which they can provide information to assist us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.00pm: <\/strong>After working on the verification and making good progress, I turn to making changes in the prospectus, which I had flagged to myself while undertaking the verification. I have been tasked with the responsibility of various aspects of the prospectus, including cross-referencing, definitions and glossary tables, and general presentability. This demonstrates the importance of always remaining aware of the wider picture, trying not to take each task in isolation. Once the necessary changes have been made, I inform the rest of my team to ensure that we are all on the same page. Communication is essential and plays a vital role in increasing efficiency within our workstreams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.30pm: <\/strong>My last task of the day is to send out DocuSigns to directors for a fundraising which closed a few days ago. This will mark the end of our work on the matter, and it is rewarding to have successfully acted for the client in a major milestone of their expansion and progression. Later tonight, once the signatures have been received, I\u2019ll quickly file the executed versions in our internal bible of documents on the matter. I make the most of the reasonable finish time today, after a particularly busy last few weeks and some late nights.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t \n        \n                <h2 id=\"about\">About the firm<\/h2>\n        <p><p><strong>The firm:<\/strong> The London office of Haynes Boone has experience serving the corporate, debt capital markets, energy, finance, insolvency, international dispute resolution, investment management, project finance and development, real estate and shipping sectors.
