TEMPORARY LAW FIRM ASSIGNMENTS
Rich Snyder, a partner in Mayer Brown LLP's D.C. antitrust and competition
practice, says even a short-term assignment, such as a temporary
secondment to a law firm's overseas office, can be career enhancing. In
mid-2009, Snyder landed an 11-month assignment in the Brussels office
of London-based Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, an experience he
recalls as both " very valuable to his career " and a " magical " adventure for
his family.

enforcement growing increasingly aggressive and coordinated, larger
firms have strategically opened offices and integrated their practices

Today, Snyder continues
to leverage his firsthand
experience working
across cultures to craft
legal strategies. " Cultural
differences don't change

advice. In my experience,
antitrust issues often involve
uncertainty; some
cultures are more or less
tolerant of uncertainty in
legal advice. "
