Testimonials from law students to attorneys with a decade of experience



“rubi offers insight that typically only comes with years of experience and helps connect nuances of transactional practice that can be difficult to piece together early on. Madison and Geetika walk you through what you need to know, delivering concepts in a clear, digestible manner, and drawing on their own experiences and understanding of the first-year learning curve.”
     - Remy Bell (Associate at Boutique Firm)


“rubi will help to de-mystify what is expected of a transactional attorney in a Big Law firm. Understanding Big Law culture - how juniors, mid-levels, seniors, and partners work together, what excellent work product looks like, and how the work day is structured - can really help to reduce the culture shock many associates face. rubi will benefit summer associates, junior associates, laterals, associates changing practice areas, and law students.”
     - Joy F. (In-House Attorney with 10+ Years of Experience)

“I think this would have been great my first week at my summer associate position. Navigating the biglaw environment and figuring things out on the fly was frustrating and I always felt like I was bothering people with questions. The info is spot on . . . [it] was very informative and delivered well. I like the brevity. It is very straight forward and I couldn't really pick out anything that was superfluous.”
     - Alexander B. (Associate at AM Law 10 Firm)

“I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to learn these foundational skills before ever stepping into a firm. Project Rubi does a phenomenal job of explaining the "why" behind each step of a transaction and giving real, concrete ways you can contribute to your team and add value from Day 1. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enter transactional practice.”
     - Lauren Swords (Summer Associate at Magic Circle Firm)

“It is nice that both speakers are clearly very experienced in the world of big law, so explanations feel very well informed, but they're still also very personable so it doesn't feel like just another cold training video. It could be a fantastic tool for established attorneys interested in switching practices. You not only learn about what it means to be a transactional attorney, but can gain some experience as one.”
     - Darren P. (Associate Attorney with 5+ Years of Experience)


“rubi is a crash course for the transactional law profession that provides you with the firm foundation you need to succeed in your future career before you even step through the doors. Through a series of videos with sample assignments that work through a full sample deal, rubi teaches you the background and skills you need to excel. I have a lot of faith in these instructors and I would be eager to learn from any more content that they put out on any platform.”

     - Lily M. (Law Student at The University of Texas School of Law)


“I think a training program like rubi should be required for all lawyers alongside on the job training. Before rubi, I didn't receive any formal training outside of being assigned tasks. There was very minimal background information or training that dives into the subject matter of the work. . . . This is the first program like this that I've heard of.”

     - Martina W. (In-House Attorney with 5+ Years of Experience)

The Transactional Practice Guide: M&A

Watch the welcome video from our flagship program to get a glimpse of what you'll learn

How it works

Our flagship program guides you through exactly how to be an M&A attorney.  You'll step into the role of a junior lawyer at a BigLaw firm, staffed on Project Rubi.  But we're right there with you, guiding you through each step. It's as if we're at your desk, showing you exactly how to handle each task & sharing everything we wish we could have known when we started practicing. 

Before rubi, the only way to gain this type of experience was by piecing things together over years of on-the-job learning.  But we've put it all together for you, so you can gain that experience now.

Here's what you'll get

  • Structured, End-to-End Training – We took everything we learned through 25,000+ billable hours in BigLaw and curated it into exactly what we’d want a junior to know on our M&A deals.  You’ll work through 7 hours of interconnected video lectures & 3+ hours of assignments that build progressively on each other — 50+ units in total — on an intuitive platform for self-paced learning.  Includes 2 years of access to the full curriculum.
  • Streamlined & Digestible Content – We spent two years carefully developing & distilling the program to ensure it integrates seamlessly into demanding professional schedules, without compromising depth or rigor.  Video lectures range from just 30 seconds to 20 minutes, max, so you can focus on what matters.
  • Experience on M&A Assignments – You'll handle 9 key categories of assignments a junior M&A lawyer works on, but with detailed direction senior attorneys rarely have time to provide.  We show you exactly what to do, how to do it, & even what to say — using a full purchase agreement & transaction docs to show you the bigger picture and give you the context you need.
  • Access to Professional Resources – You'll get practical resources you can take along with you, like deal checklists, diligence templates, & strategic frameworks for your practice.
  • Shareable Record of Program Completion – Watch all the videos, do all the required work, and you'll earn a record of completion you can add to your LinkedIn, resume, etc.
