"Biggest law firm in the world most years, always competes for it!" - Anonymous Write an Anonymous Review
Former Employee Senior associate
in Washington, DC City, - Reviewed on Oct 26, 2020
Advice to law firm management: Concentrate on career development of associates.
Pros: It is indeed a very good law firm! It has offices all over the world! If you want international exposure, this can be a GREAT PLACE!
Cons: Not the best, but the biggest firm. In Washington, much of it can be a regulatory practice, and Washington is the regulatory capital of the world! Some other areas may suffer.
Partners to Avoid and Why: Just REALLY interview THEM and see why they may want you. Regulatory practice and international client base is truly top notch, but are they interviewing you for litigation? What cases and clients in litigation do they current have? Will the current active matters last a long time? Every firm would like you to somehow generate new work yourself, but will the current work keep you going for at least two or three more years?
Favorite Things About this Firm: Friendliness, location, commitment to success, chance to say you work in the biggest law firm in the world!
Current or former employee?: Former Employee
Last Year at Employer: 2017
