STB's real estate group is highly regarded. They have run some pretty interesting deals and are definitely not just a support group, fwiw.

it's definitely not this straightforward. STB has the stronger PE M&A practice, funds, and real estate; DPW is better for financial regulatory, bank finance, and capital markets. You can't say "STB for corporate" as a blanket statement, nor the other way around.

Yeah, definitely choose the non-V5 with seven Band 1 rankings over the V5 with ten Band 1 rankings via this blanket stupidity.

(And yes, I realize Vault and Chambers are dumb for a comparison like this, but just thought this DPW reject should get a taste of his/her own medicine)
