Re: Faegre Baker Daniels
All good questions. Before law school, I worked in a particular B&D office. I left six months before the merger for law school.
The firm tends to be mid-level in terms of prestige I think, but this was pre-merger. At least pre-merger, the firm seemed to be in okay financial health, from what they seemed to report to us. The vast majority of their clients come from the Midwest, especially Indiana, and that can be kind of limiting.
Becoming partner seemed doable. They do these firm-wide quarterly meetings where they announce who became partner, and there always seemed to be a number of attorneys, including women, becoming partners.
At firm-wide meetings, they always reported the new crop of attorneys joining the company. The vast, vast majority of them were from Indiana law schools. Maybe you can throw some Chicago schools in there. That's all I seem to know about getting a job there.
