Offered SA position at both firms in NYC. Leaning towards lit, but not 100% sure.

Re: DPW v. Weil Summer Associate Offer
Both are great, congratulations!.
Weil's recent layoffs are probably the biggest firm-wide issue either firm has.
Otherwise, going with culture/gut/whatever is probably best if you're looking at litigation (if you were looking at corporate, the distinctions between the two firms (i.e. bankruptcy or not-bankruptcy) would be easier to draw).
I work at DPW and it's pretty great. I know people who worked at Weil and they seemed as happy as any biglaw associate ever is too.

Re: DPW v. Weil Summer Associate Offer
a partner told me Weil's bankruptcy practice takes up only %10. the reason people think its bigger its because it was giving a lot of work to other practices areas e.g. litigation during the recession

Re: DPW v. Weil Summer Associate Offer
The reason folks think its bigger is that Weil's bankruptcy practice has gone into the toilet, which is why they had to poach the guy from K&E with a big guarantee.Anonymous User wrote:a partner told me Weil's bankruptcy practice takes up only %10. the reason people think its bigger its because it was giving a lot of work to other practices areas e.g. litigation during the recession
