Attire Question

I landed a V100 interview through mass mailing and then contacted an alum at the firm. He invited me to come to the firm to talk to him a week before the interview. The firm said it is business casual when it comes to attire, but still expects people coming in for an interview to wear suits. Should I wear a suit for the visit too? That's what I'm leaning towards. Never know who I'm going to meet while I'm there.

+1. Though biz casual may be appropriate, a suit is never wrong.

I would probably wear business casual for an informational interview. No need to be overly formal for an informal meeting.

You will never look out of place because you're wearing a suit inside a law firm.

The last thing you want to be wearing is khakis when that partner happens to be wearing cufflinks.

Amen. The firm at which I'm an SA is technically business casual. However, I wear a suit every day. And it's not weird, because most of the partners and the entire litigation department do too. You can't go wrong in a suit.
