K&E will almost always be just specialist support on PE deals. I slogged that work at McDermott for a while and it’s a special type of soul crushing.

KE is just regulatory btw. It doesn’t matter if you’re based out of Chicago or Dallas; they are hiring across the firm. You will be working across offices and will be doing ancillary support for their M&A transactions.

I didn’t know Arnold & Porter had a Chicago office and I’ve worked here for 5 years. Used to work at K&E as a specialist and always liked the healthcare group when we interacted, but it is almost entirely M&A support if that’s not your thing

It depends heavily on what you want to do. If you're good with just transactional work and don't mind being insanely busy, K&E may be fine. If you're looking for any level of variety (regulatory counseling, investigations support, etc.) and to have a practice beyond M&A, I don't think K&E would be my pick.
