The same as commercial but some workpapers look different, actually gotta teat compliance with laws, and you need a different background for some areas (e.g. budgetary).

If you are below manager it ain’t that different for you.

Assuming audit at least.

None of them lateraled (yet) and at least one of them does not plan to practice law anymore. I thought it was about Latham or this practice group before learning about the other two.
