I would think Enforcement, but I think most SEC experience would be pretty valuable so idk if it matters that much

I’ve recently been staffed on a deal with a partner (& one of the dept. chairs), a 1st year associate & summer associate (I’m class of 2018).

Scenario for my tech tran folks: a collaboration agreement includes a termination clause providing that either party may terminate the agreement if the other party breaches a "material" term of the agreement + not cured w/in 30 days. The term "material" is not defined therein. The agreement includes mutual warranties.

If a party breaches any warranty in the agreement, is the the other party automatically entitled to terminate the agreement for breach of a material term?

When would you say that things really started to “click” for you and you felt like you knew what you were doing?

Also, when did you feel more in control of your work flow and have a solid grasp of how long tasks would take you?
