Believe the above comment is wrong - I'm a recruiter who has placed a few people with them and have been to the firm, met partners, and know a lot about the group. It WAS smaller, but they brought on M+A partners and really have a full scale group now - M+A, credit facilities, securities/PCAP, corp governance, and funds (private and registered). I think they have the best private funds group in DC. They told me they want to become THE premier corporate group in DC generally though. I think they're better then their peer firms when it comes to how they operate as a business too.

DM me for more info. Happy to share more.

To be clear- the DC office is smaller than NY but they are growing. They aren't farming out work to NY though.

The DC office of ST is not a corporate hot bed and is a smaller group. My understand from the people who work their is most of their work is for other offices and their hours are pretty reasonable (way way less than mine in a different DC big law shop), but maybe I am talking to an outlier.

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing
