Anyone have any noteworthy experiences (for better or worse) as an associate at Fox Rothschild in their NYC or Philly offices? I’ve heard mixed things and all a recruiter would share is that their billables are “lower” and comp “isn’t market, but competitive.” Any real insight at all would be helpful.

No idea if they do this anymore, but their summer callback interview (Great Recession times) included putting all the potentials in a room with some snacks and a selection of attorneys who wanted snacks and telling the students to go forth and network and reminding them this was part of the interview. This was like 20 students interviewing for 1-2 positions in a terrible economy. I think they were hoping for some real hunger games of desperate networking. The attorneys were least interested in desperate potential summers and wanted to eat their snacks in peace so I remain baffled who this was for.

Left me with a very negative impression of them I still have over a decade later.

@OP All things considered, pretty good. No games yet 😂

Can you elaborate as to reasons or message me to explain? I’m looking whatever honest insight I can get here. Appreciate it!

I’m at Fox, not in one of those offices, and I’ve had a really pleasant experience at the firm. Most of my interactions with partners from those offices have been positive, but I definitely get the sense things are a little more intense there then they are in the other (eg Midwest and west coast) offices.

Hourly bonuses are meh IMHO. They aren’t office dependent - basically there’s one set of amounts for years 1-3 and another for 4+. Starting at $7k/$12k and increasing from there for every 25 hr band. I think at 2300 it taps out around $45K and if you have higher hours beyond that the amount is at the discretion of the firm. Nicer part in my mind is origination bonus, 10% of fees collected where you’re the originating attorney. Not sure how many large firms do that.
