From those with an opinion, what are your thoughts on heading to Munger for transactional work? Assume other options are in play as well, though not to be stated for anon reasons.

We're assuming an understanding that Munger is primarily a lit firm, but that it has a smaller corporate department that does good work (and no not just Berkshire work).

Does anyone have thoughts on going this route as opposed to a bigger firm with more corporate depth? The fact that Munger gives a shit about its associates and has much better partner prospects is also relevant. As is their overall firm culture.

"Munger for Transactional" sounds like a euphemism for some kind of disgusting sexual act.

I have no additional and/or mature opinions to add.

I laughed.

Other takers?

Last call for this hot topic...

(remembers the store by that same name and shudders)

are your other LA options Latham or Gibson? and do you need to be in LA? Brass tax, I'd probably go to one of those over Munger for transactional work -- maybe Skadden but that's a really tough call -- needless to say, Munger hands down for litigation (except IP in which case its a toss up with Irell).

Ask about growth potential? or where Munger transactional attorneys end up? If you want a great place to practice and have realistic partnership prospects, Munger's the place to be. If you want to lateral to a financial institution, I'd probably go to New York or Latham/Gibson/Skadden.

Thanks for the reply. LA is definitely the call so NY is out of the picture. And I won't name other firms specifically but you guessed right--they are definitely of the mentioned biglaw variety.

If the goal were partnership would you still say Gibson/Latham/Skadden over MTO? It seems that these other firms may have better transactional practices overall, but that the overall partnership prospects and firm culture may make up for the slight decrease in dealbook depth.

Again, really unsure.

Feel free to PM me for any additional questions/thoughts. I'd rather not go into more detail here actually

I would not go to Munger for transactional. Period.
