I like that the background to tasks and the tasks are available in both video and text formats. This gives me the opportunity to choose a more convenient mode of learning. In addition, receiving a draft response after each task helps me understand, beyond verifying my answers, how to present my responses in a manner that aligns with Latham & Watkins' standards.
Introduction from Latham & Watkins

I appreciated how the simulation mirrored the high-stakes environment of a biopharmaceutical M&A deal. The tasks—ranging from navigating Delaware Section 203 anti-takeover statutes to reviewing AI-identified due diligence risks—provided a realistic look at the balance between legal technicality and strategic commercial advice.
What I liked most about the simulation was that it provided practical exposure to M&A work through realistic tasks, including reviewing agreements, identifying legal issues, drafting client communications, and summarizing transaction terms. The exercises helped me understand how lawyers apply legal principles in commercial settings and improved my confidence in approaching transactional matters.
