Is the MWS NY funds group (the Schulte side) really as toxic and cliquey as talked about on here? Or is it just exaggerated? How is integration for laterals?

As someone who used to work in the group, I can assure you that there’s a reason why the group has the reputation that it does. It’s also why the group has consistently struggled to attract and retain laterals, especially midlevels. I recommend you look elsewhere for a place you will feel respected and can develop as a lawyer.
