Meh, pay is way below market. Mostly middle market clients since their presence isn’t as big here as it is overseas.

I am from a non-US office of the firm - worked in both the London office and an office in Asia.

It's very much a London-centric firm so if you are bothered by bureaucracy and politics not going your way because you are outside of London - not recommended.

Don't think I met any US-qualified lawyers in the London office when I was there.

I think all, if not most, US-qualified lawyers in Clydes are based in the US offices.

London is just where most of the decisions are made for the various practice groups.

When OC is rude/aggressive/uncivil in an email (and the behavior is unprovoked), what’s the best way to respond? I usually ignore it and respond normally, but I won’t allow older attorneys to think that, just because I’m a young lawyer, they’re going to walk all over me. I’m still a lawyer with the same degree and younger lawyers know A LOT of stuff that many experienced attorneys do not (technology, doc management systems, how to edit and mark docs without cutting down the Amazon etc.)
