I don’t know in US, but have worked with them in London and they are very good :)

Their US office is really small, like 5-7 people from what I recall

Have worked with both operations - good reputation - easy to work with. Some rumblings of it being a sweat shop but from my work with them seemed no different than other sponsors there. They pay huge prices for things they have conviction in and hold on to things they like for a while (see: Visma). They move fast and imo their diligence has a lot less depth than other firms but they take a position on an industry and get into bed with the right people. They have been very successful.

For in-house counsel roles, does firm prestige matter? For example, would the fact that an applicant is from Sullivan & Cromwell vs, say, White & Case matter at all, or is it much more about experience/interview?

I am far along in the interview process for a job I want (meeting with Chief Legal Officer next week), but am still accepting other interviews until I have a formal offer. However, I have an interview scheduled for early this week where, after further research, I don’t think I would be very happy. Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!

First American Financial Corporation I have attended two rounds of interview in First American Finan Company last week and have received an email that I have been selected in their interview process. The talent acquisition team did not send me an offer letter instead have sent me a BGC form which I submitted yesterday.

Can anyone tell me if they faced this situation?TIA
