Cooley

Cooley without a doubt. ML’s transactional practices are lower middle market at best.

Completely depends on the practice and the market you're in. If you're talking ECVC, Cooley (and the other tech firms) are superior to every other firm. For example, if you want to go in-house to a tech company, you are exponentially more likely to do this from a firm like Cooley. If you want to do PE work, Cooley is not the right fit. Go to Chambers and compare practices in your city. These firms have over 1000 attorneys and many different practices. There is no straightforward analysis; there are many factors to determine which firm is best for you.

Cooley.

Depends a lot on market and practice. Folks above saying Cooley are maybe right in the aggregate but it doesn’t matter that much depending on where and what you’re practicing.

L&E and Lit - definitely Morgan Lewis. Also, that firm isn’t notorious for layoffs like Cooley, no?

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

Big law literally saved my life. I was working for the government and being sued by creditors and in a deep, dark place. I wasn't even able to afford my Ube transfer application on my own.

I understand why people rag on it but some of us would be in a really bad place if we weren't here

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).
