How to Bid Strategically
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2015 7:15 am
Thank you in advance for any helpful advice, it is really appreciated.
Facts
School: T14 law student.. Non-T6. Live in NY.
GPA: 3.10
Prior Work Experience: 1.5 years, Capital Markets, boutique investment bank, London
Softs: Other than English, I speak Arabic, French, and Portuguese (all fluently)
1L Summer: Working for a local transactional firm in Sao Paolo, Brazil
Interests: Transactional (Finance)
Am I pretty screwed with my GPA? Probly.. doesn't mean I shouldn't give it my best shot..
Didn't find the advice from career services to be particularly helpful.. For that reason I am coming to TLS: in an ideal scenario, a list of firms to place in the top 10-20 spots of my bidlist would be awesome.
Thus far, I have:
1) Clifford Chance, 2) Freshfields, 3) Chadbourne, 4) White & Case, 5) Dechert, 6) Linklaters, 7) Akin Gump, and Shearman & Sterling.
Again, any suggestions are really appreciated.
