Thoughts on Twitter hiring Wachtell for the Elon litigation? I don’t think of Wachtell as being my first call for big litigation matters.

Lol. You are uninformed. They literally can use Leo Strine to argue this in Delaware chancery court. There is no better team for this issue.

The retired judges in Delaware generally do not appear before the courts and make oral arguments but your point is still a good one.

Thanks all! No intent to slight Wachtell by the way. I was genuinely curious. For context, I’m a Bay Area associate in a different type of practice.

Watchell is heavily transactional and does not do much litigation EXCEPT for Delaware chancery litigation which they are strong on. It would be an odd choice for a "general commercial" litigation matter, but not so for M&A litigation in Delaware Chancery.

Curious OP, who might be your first call on big lit matters?

I’m waiting to see whether musk challenges whether wachtell can represent twitter against him.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I haven’t been on the job hunt in years and have two questions for you all this morning.
1. Cover letters - they seem so antiquated to me. Are they necessary? Does it look bad if I don’t apply with one. I believe my resume is quite concise and has a profile summary 2. “Desired pay” - I want to put something like “negotiable depending on total comp package” but will that rule me out? I hate the numbers game
