Tell me about Baker & McKenzie

Have a meeting with a Baker & McKenzie hiring partner in San Francisco on Monday (which may or may not be a screener, it's kind of unclear). Does anyone know much about that firm beyond what Vault says? Anything specific about the SF office or the summer program? Any inside info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I interviewed with them for a 1L SA. No screeners, it just went straight to the 5 interviews with 10 attorneys over 2.5 hours in their office.

They're big, of course, but they also have about 75 offices (they have off-site partner and section conferences by continent and hemisphere), which means that many of their offices are surprisingly small and tight-knit relative to other biglaw offices in those cities. And they tend to do pretty much everything, so whatever you're interested in, they do it.

Beyond that, I've got nothing. I wouldn't have even offered this except that you're still waiting for any feedback at all.
