From what I’ve been told, DPW Rx generally only take people who rotated through finance after the rotation years are over. So you will need to split your rotation with finance.

This is what I understand from knowing DPW RX associates and working across from them. They are much more transactional and finance focused.

Gibson.

Which one? Or you’re asking about RX litigation?

Would like to explore both during the summer program and then decide

Gibson restructuring is a lot. Seconding the question, what do you want to do?

Appreciate it. Having talked to people I’m sure I’ll be able to try both (even after the summer) at DPW so it seems like the better fit

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office. Long story short, I regret choosing the office that I chose. I’d like to transfer to another office - is that a difficult ask? I’m licensed in the state I’d like to transfer to. I don’t know how to make this request.
