Have offers at Arnold & Porter, Greenberg Traurig, Venable, and Pillsbury. All in LA. Want to do IP lit or general commerical lit, but not opposed to transactional. Thoughts?

I was really impressed with the IP lit being done at Arnold & Porter during my screener (think: Google v. Apple), and everyone seemed really nice during my CB. Plus, awesome pro bono opportunities and it's probably the most prestigious firm on your list. If I had hose choices, I'd go with Arnold & Porter.

But, I also know someone who summered at Pillsbury and loved it.

You easily know what you are going to choose. You just want everyone to validate it since you are not confident in your own decisions. :|

Have you decided which offer you are accepting?

this is one of the more bizarre lists of LA firms I've seen, since none of these firms are based in LA

Fwiw, I know people who got no offered from both A&P and venable (one last summer and one the summer before)
