Thinking of moving to Wilson Elser, GRSM50, Marshall Dennehey, or Rivkin Radler. This is for the NY offices. Does anyone have any insight into the general liability groups. This next move HAS to be my last. I'm a lateral, over 5 years experience, and I need to lay down roots. Let's assume there are offers on the table within 20K of one another.

We gotta do better and stop being scared. Other than compensation, I try to talk to everyone about anything. Also, crowdsourcing is the best way to not look foolish in front of the partner one works for. But I hear you. A bad boss that silos you on only their cases can ruin an otherwise great firm.

I’m assuming this is for ID? I heard good things about Rivkin, people seem to like it.

I’ve never worked for Rivkin, but my family uses them. They’re great to work with front a client perspective (Uniondale Office). My mom also does work with the NYC Office (Real Estate) and she only says nice things about them.

I haven't worked at any of those places, but have known people at all of them. Rivkin Radler seems to be the most likely place to set down roots; Wilson Elser the least likely. Even partners have short shelf lives - it appears to be a pretty toxic environment
