Wilmer DC Litigation Department & Leverage
I'm considering WilmerHale's DC office and like the firm a lot: great reputation, solid people, and the liberal-leaning revolving-door reputation is attractive to me. One of my only concerns is the high ratio of litigation associates to partners--almost five-to-one, which is higher than a lot of other top-tier D.C. firms. Does anyone have any basis for speaking to how this affects young Wilmer lit associates in terms of staffing, development, and advancement?

Re: Wilmer DC Litigation Department & Leverage
Out of curiosity, where are you getting these figures from?
I know that firm-wide WilmerHale has a pretty attractive Associate:Partner ratio (around 1.98 according to AmLaw 100) - so I am surprised that the DC litigation department (which has a very positive reputation) would have so much leverage.

Re: Wilmer DC Litigation Department & Leverage
Judging by the "demographics" section of NALP, more than 50 of the 154 are probably staff attorneys and counsel.JusticeHarlan wrote:Per NALP: 34 partners, 154 "Associates or & Other Lawyers" for lit in DC.
