[London] Any thoughts from the bowl on Goodwin vs Covington for a Training Contract? Interested in Life Sciences, albeit undecided on transactional vs regulatory work. Both firms seem very friendly with a collaborative culture.

Covington seems like a better bet for proper life sciences work and less churny than Goodwin.

I love it at my firm and can speak highly of the culture. But I have heard many good things about Goodwin so I’m sure you can’t go wrong.
