Serious question: How do they treat their financial support staff? (I know, I know: Who cares about support staff)
Thanks in advance for expert xoxo opinions. |

McDermott has a reputation for being cheap and during the recession eliminated perks like free coffee (there's an article about it in the tribune).
they used to have a reputation for being a lifestyle firm but i have heard from friends who are still there that moral is really low b/c of the layoffs/firings and people are being worked really hard. |

OK place to work, with decent ppl
not fratty
not prestigious
solidly mid-tier firm
they were vicious during the recession/ITE, cutting well over 20% of their attorneys and wiping out much of corporate; with all that cutting and now things recovering, they're probably holding steady now
billables are in the even 2000 range |

Date: May 14th, 2013 4:37 PM Author: Amethyst mad-dog skullcap i believe starting salary is 145K, also. Seems like a decent place to work, but prob not so great that it's worth taking less money. Though not sure how compensation works if you're talking about lateraling. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2255656&forum_id=2#23197970) |

However, if you want to Trusts & Estates, there is no firm in the country even remotely at the same level as them. |
