Edit - if corp probably stb or dpw but that's based purely on "reputation"

I think sc requires suits erryday. That would be a deal breaker for me.

For HYS they seem to hire people who are focused on work and M&A more than pure grades so position yourself as the type of person who will thrive billing 3k a year. You still need to be at the top of the class, but not the absolute top (at least if my friends there are any indication).

Quote Marty Lipton white papers in your interview.

Will only try to do corp work this summer. Can you give me your M&A ranking of the v5?

WLRK

The other 4.

There are reasons to pick one over the other but none of them matter for 1L. If you are worried about your grades falling, ask if they extend 2L offers or permanent offers to 1Ls summers.

Offices need to be ranked individually. Some are great, some are SPS.

Also, Cleary is much different than the others in personality. There are some differences between the other three but less pronounced.

Only place I can think of that might fit your hypo is DC? If so, there are a lot of better firms than those.

I think skadden did stealth a whole bunch of people a few years ago. Had a bunch of acquaintances and classmates who worked there all mysteriously leave in the same year. A couple of them without jobs. One of those jobless dudes was telling me beforehand that he everyone in his group was really freaked about getting canned.

Have you seen K&E NYC? It's so fucking awesome that TV shows are continuously shooting their baller boardroom scenes there.

Don't think so re CSM. Agree their offices are absolutely horrendous, especially for junior associates with the railroad-style office sharing. And in general the style of the office looks like a shitlaw firm trying to pretend it's a real law firm.

This knocked them down below DPW in my ranking, but they are still high because they have some of the best lawyers in NYC, and I'm told some of these are actually okay to work for. Obviously some are not, which makes going there a crapshoot in light of the "Cravath system."

Downtown ends up being convenient for work purposes, since it's close to the court and the relevant gov offices - SEC, USAO, etc. But the dearth of solid restaurants and the crush of 9/11 tourists makes it inferior to midtown generally.

However, CSM is way over on 8th ave and 50th, a stone's throw away from Times Sq. That is a very TTT location (don't even get me started on Skadden's location).

Corporate: Go to Wachtell if you can get it, particularly if you want to do M&A. If you can't, just go to the V10 where you like the people the most as long as it is in the top tier of Chambers' rankings for your practice group. You are going to be spending a shit ton of time with those folks, so you should make sure that you can stand the culture. It really makes a big difference in your life, much more so than the negligible differences in exit options between STB and DPW. If you like the people equally at two firms, look at their client lists, as that could be your next job down the line.

Litigation: Go to Wachtell if you can. If not, pick a specialty and go to the V10 that has a good practice group in that area. If the people are shitty, lateral down to a firm that specializes in that area that has better people/hours.

The network you get from there is on a different level than the rest of the V10. So is the pay. Their other corporate practice groups don't "suck," but are largely driven by M&A. Who cares?

No, the network is not different. These firms are all working on the same deals. In some ways the others are better for networking because they have better PE relationships instead of a series one off super deals.

Let me guess, you don't practice at this level do you?

The other corporate groups really aren't noteworthy at all. You'll never see them with a noteworthy position in cap markets or finance tables.
