Summer Associate

“I love it. That it’s awesome is an understatement.”

Law Student
University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

“I like that it gives both the bird’s eye view—WHY do we have term sheets, WHY do we do due diligence—as well as nitty gritty details—here are specific pointers for drafting a working group list, here are key terms to check on a term sheet, etc.”

“Straightforward and easy to follow.”

“[When I first saw Hotshot] I thought OK, this is potentially going to be a little bit corny, but I was really blown away by how much it felt authentic—it felt like an attorney sitting there helping you do something, helping you review a document. Students have had the same reaction.”

“Honestly, stuff like the M&A Basics videos would have been PHENOMENAL to have available when I first started out practicing at a firm. They cover everything on such a basic level and hit all of the random little points that no one ever actually sits down and explains to you. Those so often hamstring your bigger-picture understanding of deals until you either figure it out with context clues or work up the nerve to ask a more senior associate you hope won’t think you’re an idiot.”

“I think Hotshot is great. The information is easy to digest, the platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and the use of various mode options (video, charts, quizzes, outlines) is extremely helpful.”

Law Graduate
Penn State Law

“Hotshot videos are brief—perfect for people with a lot going on. The seven-minute program on motions to dismiss is interesting and makes all the right points. We do not have to create that foundational material from scratch…we found that if we used the Hotshot materials we could customize it for our firm in no time at all”

“I really like the bite-sized videos and appreciate the high-quality materials.”

Associate
Shearman & Sterling

“Great interface, clear and easy to follow! I especially like the visual examples (i.e., chart, and then handwritten pen explains further changes to the example, visuals in real time change the number variables), and that a written outline is available. I either watched the videos first with the closed caption on then read the outline, or flipped this order; it's useful to access the content in multiple ways. I’m excited too that there’s an intro to the financial industry (i.e., banking, hedge funds).”

Summer Associate
Simpson Thacher

“Overall, these videos and quizzes are great, learning a lot already.”

Associate
Gunderson Dettmer

“I thought the modules were very digestible and provided excellent foundations that would be effective pre-work for trainings, as well as the “just in time” component that is discussed on the website. The outlines are great for being able to refer back to certain items later without re-watching things again (time = money).”
