Does anyone have any intel on Ropes and Gray’s M&A practice in New York? I’m particularly interested in strategic / public company M&A, but based on my research it seems like they heavily focus on PE there. Does every M&A associate only do PE in New York or do they still do strategic / public transactions? Also curious to hear more about culture, average hours, whether bonus is market (they don’t announce past the junior level) and ability to cross-collaborate on deals in other offices.

Thanks! Do you work in M&A? Would love to hear your experience if so.

You should look at Latham’s New York M&A practice - we’re hiring and it’s a great culture with a thriving M&A practice 😉

I’m in the private equity group at Ropes (not New York) and the M&A and PE groups are completely separate and have only become more so during the pandemic (part of the firms plan to get associates homeroomed earlier). While first/second years would usually be able to drift between the groups once you are “in” a group you won’t be at risk of getting staffed on matters that are outside of that group due to our staffing system.

Thanks! What are your annual hours like in the PE group? Do you speak to folks in the M&A group / have any intel to share? Would love to hear more!
