Take this with a MASSIVE grain of salt considering I only did a cb with them, but I thought they were the coolest attorneys I met with during the oci process. I really liked the people I met and the vibe I got and very nearly accepted their offer.

This is fairly useless since it was only a screener-cb, but yeah.

Proskauer is good for corporate, can't say lit is great. OMM is better than Akin Gump for lit imo. I actually have the opposite opinion of akin gump. the two attorneys i had a screener with were literally the worst. they talked amongst themselves about something unrelated to my resume the entire time. i really don't like to judge a firm by two attorneys but it was honestly the worst interview I've ever had. go with OMM and don't look back.

Anon from before. Thats actually hilarious, because during OCI I had an similarly awful interviewing experience where the two attorneys talked between themselves about something not even related to me, only it was with OMM LA, lol.

but to be more helpful to OP, if I were you I would probably pick OMM LA, mostly based on stuff I've heard from attorneys and their band 2 rank in Chambers.
