White & Case v. Cadwalader v. A&O v. Linklaters (NYC)
Looking at transactional practices in general at the moment. I have a very international background (worked abroad, speak foreign languages) and would be interested in practicing abroad for a while, but still unclear how easy that is to do from the NYC offices (for the UK firms and W&C). I also really liked the people I'd met at A&O. Would it be nuts to take an offer from the UK firms over W&C/Cadwalader when - from my understanding - the NY offices of the UK firms aren't that strong? Thinking about strength of (domestic) exit options down the line. Thoughts very much appreciated. Thanks!

White & Case is definitely better than Cadwalader in any case. Not sure about the British firms' NY offices.

Have you already gotten an offer from Links?

For anyone facing similar choices now or in the future. If working abroad--whether via secondment or transfer, or even starting your career overseas--is your top priority, can't go wrong with Linklaters.

White & Case, the rest 3 aren't peer firms in NYC. If you go to AO or LL New York, many times you would just be the US counsel on Euro-centric transactions, whereas at WC, you would be the leading counsel, but also working with other international counsels. Check their partners' deal lists to get a sense.

This. If you are planning on staying in NYC long term, go with W&C. But if you want to get exposure to primarily multi-jurisdictional deals (which NYC law firms tend not to touch) and make a career in Asia or Europe leveraging on such experience, LL and/or AO will be stronger options.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 1:22 amWhite & Case, the rest 3 aren't peer firms in NYC.
