Top Law Schools

Anyone know anything about the Boston office? From what I gather most of the corp work they do is M&A. Anyone have any input on culture, reputation in Boston generally, etc?

All I will say is that Season 6 of GoT is about Dany freeing the associates of Skadden Boston.

Anon because I had an offer there:

Also interested in the Boston office

Interested as well. Not sure what the second comment means? Is it worse than other big law firms in Boston?

For the non-nerds, s/he's saying the denizens of Skadden Boston are slaves.

Have good sources saying that this is accurate.

So the consensus is that it is worse that other Boston Big Law?

Could someone offer a personal (or at least second-hand) account of life at Skadden Bosston? That would be very helpful.

i met someone who previously worked there and also at a NY V5 - basically, the hours and the work are pretty similar to skadden's peer V5 firms, but some people perceive it (probably rightly so) as a satellite office. as far as boston firms go i don't think it's considered any worse or better than the other boston firms in terms of prestige (maybe a bit less so than WH/GP/ropes), but people's negative sentiments towards this office probably come from the fact that people there work NY hours.
