Interested in both transaction and litigation (like 50/50)
"Clicked" with Latham and OMM
Downtown LA is closer for me than CC

If 50/50 with transactional then not Irell.

Why is Irell on the radar if thinking transactional? I'd do Latham.

FYI: Current Irell summer (and fucking loved it)
I'm not leaning transactional, I'm 50/50. How are you really supposed to know after one year of law school? Irell has a small transactional group (as I'm sure you know) and you CAN get work if you push for it, but that work might not always be there. I guess I'm asking if the chance of me not liking litigation or liking transactional and not getting enough work is worth the extra jump in prestige that Irell affords?

Voted Irell til seeing your preferences. But in that case, Latham. I have a friend who worked there this summer if you're interested in talking to him.

Just curious, why no votes for OMM? It also seems super well-regarded and hard to get a job there.
And aswe're just talking about California offices here, isn't it about on par with the others?

Because if you decide to go transactional Latham > OMM

in California, OMM is not as regarded as Latham and Irell. Plus, there are some rumblings about financial trouble (who knows how true that is).
Irell does have a small amount of transactional work, and you could push for it. Still is a gamble.

Difference between:
Latham and Irell transactional: Latham is better (prestige, deal size/clients, exit ops) by probably 40-50%
Latham and Irell litigation: Irell probably better (prestige, clients, cool cases) by 25%.
Sounds like Latham is the place for you if considering corporate, especially if the fit is better.
