Re: Gibson v. Latham: Los Angeles Corporate

Gibson: top of their building. Better views, but scarier in an earthquake.
Latham: bottom of their building. Worse views, but less scary in an earthquake.

I would pick GDC if I had offers from both, but I would also consider other LA corporate firms as well (Skadden, S&C, Kirkland, etc.).

True, but views from DTLA aren't overly spectacular

Depends what side of the building your on.

Also, I know someone who lateral'd from Latham LA and s/he felt like s/he was really overworked there. S/he told me that s/he pulled all nighters at the office more times than s/he could count. Doesn't sound like a great environment to me.

Would I not be overworked at Gibson too? Latham has a 1900 minimum, and it seems like if you hit 1900 you're pretty solid.

I'm not sure. I just know what the Latham lateral told me. FWIW, the Latham person was billing much more than 1900, I believe.

For LA, these two are top at corporate right? Arguably SuLCrom, Munger, or Skadden next?
