Looking for intel on the following M&A groups: Proskauer, Wilkie, Davis Polk, Debevoise, Simpson and Paul Weiss (all in NY).
Rising 3rd year lateraling from a top corporate group but I need a change. How does staffing work? In office v wfh culture? How does lateral integration work? Culture? Deal flow?

PW M&A is ideal if you’re looking for the culture of K&E without the above market bonuses (they have to pay for those lateral partners somehow)

likefunnyhelpful

DPW M&A ideal if you like being in the office 4 days a week

Depends. People come in most of those days

like

STB does the most PE work. Debevoise does a lot too but is a smaller firm and has less market share. PW is focused on Apollo in the PE space, but they have a good strategic practice led by Barshay.

Davis Polk tends to do strategic work more.

Proskauer and Willkie aren’t on the same level (deal flow and market reputation) as the other four. They could be less intense though.

like

Plus Paul Weiss has an Apollo group of attorneys who do Apollo 24/7. As a typical M&A associate, it’s not going to be a majority of your deal flow or even a significant chunk. P1, if you’re a recent PW PEMA attorney with first hand knowledge, then I guess you’d know. But as someone who has placed dozens of corporate associates at PW and stays in touch with many, I’m going to disagree strongly here.

like

Debevoise is a sinking ship across multiple practices. Avoid!
