Thinking of coming to San Francisco / Silicon Valley as a project finance lawyer -- I work in Biglaw in Australia so would likely be doing the same after I move to the US.

Any recommendations for firms I should tell my recruiter? Expecting long hours (because it is in Australia) but to the extent I can, I'd like to prioritize the least sweatshop-type of the big firms. 3-4 year associate.
