It’s big law, so a full service firm (pretty much every practice area except criminal work). I work in commercial litigation.
Your assumption is correct. Big law firms are usually among the biggest firms (in headcount and scale) with the deepest pockets and best salaries. Salary goes up substantially each year. It’s a pretty traditional, elitist space and has a demanding work culture with long hours. Takes many years to make partner and most associates burnout within a few years. But it also offers some of the best exit opportunities. Her chances at big law will depend in large part on what law school she goes to.. but generally big law is highly competitive regardless, so she needs to get the best grades she can early on. Depending on the caliber of law school, the threshold for getting big law may be higher or lower. So yes, similar to IB/finance culture I imagine.
