How do you pronounce the names of these firms?
Wachtell, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Cleary Gottlieb, Debevoise, Boies? I see them mentioned but I've never heard someone say them out loud. Not that they're of real importance to me as an 0L who's not even sure what biglaw even is, but still.

knock yourself out.
Realized Wachtell isn't there. It's pronounced wok-tell.
Neither is Boies, but that one is kind of easy. I'm not even sure how you'd pronounce that one wrong. He is famous, so there are videos where people say his name on youtube. Anyway, its something close to how you pronounce boys.
I guess the link is just for firms that interview at Georgetown.

Boies = Boys.
I used that site before a few interviews and double-checked it before a CB. It's really helpful.

The voice on that site has kind of a weird accent.

Re: How do you pronounce the names of these firms?
Well maybe it is just that the speaker pronounces every letter rather than the lazy shortcuts used in typical speech. If someone talked like that all the time I'd look at them weird.Lawlcat wrote:lolwut?AreJay711 wrote:The voice on that site has kind of a weird accent.
