Dewey or Cooley??
Offers from both in the NorCal market. Any thoughts in terms of IP practice? I'm undecided between Lit and Corporate. I know that a whole bunch of IP partners at Dewey were recently brought over from Cooley, if that changes things.

Do you want VC-related work?

Go for Cooley! I went to a recruiting event they held in the NY office. The summer associates were gushing about the awesome retreat they went on in California. Of course, a retreat in Cali may not be as big a deal for west coast associates.Anonymous User wrote:Nor-Cal? Cooley hands down.

Cooley is 100% more well known/prestigious/high profile in norcal.

NorCal is Cooley's backyard.

Re: Dewey or Cooley??
My guess is that all of the people voting for Dewey aren't from/looking in CA. Glad I wasn't alone in my assessment for Cooley.

Anyone voting for Cooley must not be familiar with Dewey's tech transactions group.
Cooley is whatever. I would go Dewey for sure

Re: Dewey or Cooley??
Thanks for the input. From what I can gather, Cooley has a great name in the area. That, and they like to hire waspy types with thousands of fb friends. definitely not my cup of tea - and i am not like that so wondering where my offer came from.
That said, Dewey's Corporate as well as Tech Trans were all poached from Howrey and Cooley and so I believe that is where the talent lies.
I am primarily interested in IP lit, but am also looking for some Corporate and M&A exposure.
No interest in working with VCs.

Just out of curiosity: Cooley SF or Cooley SV? When I did my CB at Cooley SF I did not get the "waspy with thousands of fb friends" vibe.Anonymous User wrote:Thanks for the input.

Not sure where you got the "waspy" vibe. Sister in-law worked there. Asian, no fb account, loved it.

Cooley SV. Maybe its an SV thing, or maybe its just the students i know who worked there last year as SA and that will be working there this year as SA fit the waspy fb lovers description.Anonymous User wrote:Just out of curiosity: Cooley SF or Cooley SV?

The one URM that they do have is Asian, and they are few and far between.Anonymous User wrote:Not sure where you got the "waspy" vibe. Sister in-law worked there. Asian, no fb account, loved it.
Very even on the polls, but i think I'm gonna go with Dewey.
