Date: September 1st, 2010 9:03 PM Author: Brilliant location digit ratio I'm not sure they sell it but if they do, don't buy into the one firm BS. They're pretty distinct from NY and very much Palo Alto first. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411815&forum_id=2#15942579) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:05 PM Author: sienna puppy center I liked them, but they dinged me off a callback. Really chill place, like Cooley and Fenwick without the granola eating facade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411815&forum_id=2#15942592) |

edit: what do you think the reasons were for the ding? |

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:26 PM Author: sienna puppy center Nah, fall 2008 OCI. I interviewed after Lehman, they only took H kids after that, everybody else from my T14 got dinged. They liked me pretty good too. Oh well. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411815&forum_id=2#15942813) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 10:00 PM Author: sienna puppy center Yea I know, it sucked. I got no-offered by my summer firm.
But it's ok, there are biglaw firms (not STB level) talking to me now around there, and at that level elsewhere. And I'm employed instead of deferred into 2011. |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 3:23 PM Author: Pungent beady-eyed partner My understanding is that their P.A. office is really an IP lit office and the corporate people aren't generating much work from the valley. To my knowledge, they have no presence whatsoever in VC/emerging companies work. Their corporate group basically tries to vulture a few high profile deals from the actual SV corporate practices at the traditional powers (WSGR, Fenwick, Cooley, Latham) using PE connections. And they're competing directly against Skadden and DPW in that space. I assume this means it might be tough to last for a long time in that office now that PE is not riding high like it was in the aughts when this office started out. Especially if changing the carried interest tax creates a little PE M&A last-gasp boomlet that is over by fall 2012.
Bottom line, if you want to do corporate, go to WSGR. If you want to do IP lit, it's probably as good a place as any, but I really have no idea. |
