Close law school friend is at Hogan in DC. Hogan has a 2000 hours requirement, which can include a decent amount of pro bono. No real incentive to work more than that, or at least that is what my friend has experienced. Seems like a great place to work (at least on the lit/white collar side, I can't speak to the other groups).

Thanks for the input. I've heard only good things about Hogan and I'm pretty sure I'm going with them now.

Latham has a 1900 requirement for bonus but don't believe that's all you'll be working.

If you want Lit, Hogan by a mile. If you're unsure or want corporate work, Latham by a mile. Regulatory practices - might be a closer call but I'd lean towards Hogan

Which firm provides the better exit options to Gov.

Hogan DC no offered at least one person this year. Maybe not relevant to the decision making process, but something to be aware of.

Wow, I was told everyone got an offer. Mind if I ask where you got this from?

Depends what practice. Lit across the board - Hogan. Regulatory agencies like FCC, FTC - Latham. In-house? Possibly Latham from its M&A practice in DC.

Any particular reason? I think Vault also lists everyone as receiving an offer. This is a little alarming.

I have also heard about the no offer.

Also, Latham is still Latham, which should concern people.

That's 2016 info not 2017 (I think they do usually give 100% offers). I don't have a specific reason but it sounded like a combination of work product and fit? Then again there's probably something I don't know.

But yeah there is also a reason Lathaming is a verb.

A single no-offer just means the person did something to lose the offer, same as any other firm. 100% offer firms still give cold offers if someone earns it.

Yeah, unless you're planning on being the guy who jumps in the river at a firm event or completely fails to turn in his assignments, a single no offer shouldn't concern you.

The Hogan no-offer (cold-offer) was well deserved and earned, and was unsurprising to fellow Hogan summers.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but fwiw hogan lovells just hired the former FTC chairwoman under Obama: https://www.hoganlovells.com/en/news/fo ... an-lovells

While it may not be ranked as high as Latham in the national Vault rankings, Hogan is definitely a top tier firm in DC.

Yeah the one I know about (and I assume there was only one) was a full no offer not a cold offer, though i guess the difference is not important. I do want to know what the real story is though.

Oddly enough there was a guy my summer who literally jumped in the river at an event and he still got an offer.

Come on original anon, don't be a cock tease. I've heard about throwing up in the office elevator, but surely there is more

I know that there is at least one person not returning to Hogan. I do not think there is any certainty that the person did not receive an offer. It is entirely possible that person simply decided not to return.

I would be curious to know if anyone knows, for sure, that it was a no offer and the reasons for that no offer.
