This week, LawCrossing talks with Cynthia H. Cwik, Partner with Latham & Watkins, about how she got her job at the firm.

After graduating from Yale Law School in 1987, Cwik spent a year working as a clerk for Judge Thomas J. Meskill of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The hard work that Cwik put in at Yale, as well as her clerkship experience, enabled her to land a job at prestigious international law firm Latham & Watkins in its San Diego office in 1988.


Cwik explained why she chose to work at Latham & Watkins:

"I love the fact that they do cutting-edge work in San Diego," she said. "I loved the fact that they have different offices, and I was able to work with people from different practice areas and locations."

Cwik added that, since the firm has maintained a "multi-disciplined practice in litigation," she has been able to be based in San Diego "versus other cities that are more typically thought of as having [that] type of work."
