Any insights into Latham’s finance practice group in Chicago? In a lender-focused practice and thinking of applying. How’s the culture, mentorship and growth opportunities? Does being in Chicago meaningfully curtail advancement (as opposed to being in NYC for example)

LW has very segregated borrower v lender side practices from what I understand. The role you apply to will likely specify.

Accurate. As a junior you can do both but around mid level you do one or the other

I have given interview on 19th Nov 2022 and the same day, I received an email to upload some documents. Can someone tell me how much it would it take to move to the next step in the recruitment?.

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??
