I think you probably know the answer to this, but if you were just responding to the occasional email, no. If you drafted documents or coordinated different aspects of the transaction in a more hands on manner, probably fine to include it.

Depends on how much I understand the deal, I think

Yeah, this. I included a complicated public merger I worked on diligence only for as a first year when I lateraled the next year and got grilled on the transaction structure (which I didn’t really know well since I parachuted in and out for diligence only). I’d make sure I know the structure well (especially if they can find the info publicly).

Sounds like an incomplete question?

Deal list?

Did you bill on the matter?

Yes. Id add a matter even if I just helped with a quick ancillary doc

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
