I’m at an EC/VC focused biglaw firm in the Silicon Valley and I’ve worked across from Egan a handful of times on VC financings. I was impressed with their work and the lawyers know their stuff. I wouldn’t put too much stock into the fact that they’re not on Vault, etc. because they’re a boutique. I thought about making the switch to Egan, but they’re not hiring in CA so I’m looking into SLS instead. It seems like a great firm if you want to focus on EC/VC work!
I made the jump! It’s been completely worth it. I have no regrets leaving biglaw. I’m in the EC/VC group and there’s plenty of hours if you want them, so hitting the projected comp is easy. There are also very few write offs. Overall, the deal work is great, the clients are top notch, the hours expectations are much more sane and people actually respect your nights and weekends. Feel free to reach out directly if you want to chat more.
Still at Egan Nelson? Considering a jump. My biggest hesitation is that the Texas offices all kind of seem like boys clubs. Also worried that a smaller firm in Texas with mostly older white guys is going to gave a conservative culture that I don't know if I'm okay with.
I can’t find that firm on vault, above the law, chambers & partners or any website other than its own. Edit: only really recognized in Dallas on best law firms….
