The facetious answer is that achieving ubiquity is sometimes difficult. Abingworth has raised two funds since I joined and entered into numerous first-time and follow-on financings of portfolio companies. I also assist portfolio companies with their own M&A plans and licensing.

I was unfamiliar with US venture capital documentation when I joined Abingworth so I spent a week on mini-secondment at Testa Hurwitz & Thibeault in Boston, learning about the US way of documenting financing rounds. It was great to have a week back in private practice after a year away.
