Fox Rothschild, litigation, Delaware, mid level

Considering a move from a larger BigLaw firm to Fox Rothschild, primarily to work on matters I’m more interested in, but hopefully to also have a slightly better work life balance. I know it would be a pay cut though, and their various covid cuts have me concerned as well.

Any insight from current or former associates? What is firm culture like? Is work life balance decent enough to justify a lower salary?

Current lateral associate there (not in DE). Firm is very partner heavy and there has been a lot of associate attrition. While my hours haven’t been bad thus far, it keeps getting worse as people leave from other offices. After an associate in my group left, I got an email from a partner in another office asking me to take on work with the disclaimer that the partner will not promise to respect boundaries.

Yeah…it definitely rubbed me the wrong way, so only time will tell how things shake down in that regard. Otherwise, my experience has been positive. Most people have been welcoming & my fellow associates (across the offices) have all been very helpful.

Not an employee but have considered a move there many times…Def a good place the Delaware office has a better culture than most of their offices and as a firm their expanding a lot faster than most firms…work life balance is so more similar to an in house counsel role with a better salary so def recommend

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still big law, so these kinds of nights won’t disappear, but it’s significantly better than what you’re probably used to.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Just wanted to share a tip for all of those who are looking to connect with former employees - there is a filter function at Linkedin which allows you to do so (and you can combine that with the filter on location - then you can almost always find at least 2-3 people you can reach out to and ask about the firm and practice group you are thinking of lateralling).

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!

Mostly considering the move because things are so disorganized at my current firm and I end up pulling a ton of unnecessary all nighters, and I have virtually no administrative support.
