Anyone have insight into Sheppard Mullin, McGuire Woods, Goodwin, MoFo, Gibson Dunn, or Akin Gump’s Employment Law practice groups (and/or San Francisco offices)? Currently at a big law firm but am burning out because we’re understaffed and I’m working for difficult partners. Looking to make moves but not sure if the grass is really greener 🙃

Goodwin is excellent. Full disclosure - I’m an associate at Goodwin but corporate. I work with the employment groups often, especially the SF office ones and they alll seem great.

Of those, I've heard good things about Goodwin, MoFo, Gibson Dunn. I work in the bay area but corporate. Any reason why you're not considering some of the other local firms?
