Re: Paul Weiss v. Sidley Austin (both NY)
I'd pick Sidley Austin but that's probably not helpful to you. And you've almost certainly outed yourself if the firms check TLS, since Sidley Austin's NY office has hired 0 1L SAs according to NALP in these past years. You'd be the first in a long time.

Re: Paul Weiss v. Sidley Austin (both NY)
Pretty much everyone would agree that P,W is a stronger firm in NYC than Sidley. You're right in saying that P,W is better in lit than corp, but both (according to Chambers and general TLS hivemind) are ahead of Sidley.
In regards to your desire to work in the Bay Area, keep in mind that while it is not unheard of to transfer offices within the same firm (a person at my school transferred from Latham Chicago (1L) to Latham NYC (2L)), it is not especially common, so Sidley having an SV office may be a moot point regardless. If you're really trying to play it safe/maximize your shot at working in SV/SF, Sidley would then of course be the safer bet.
Also, I may be jumping the gun, but if you managed to pick up two awesome firms for your 1L summer, I really don't think you'll have an issue at OCI (barring some disaster in your 2nd semester grades). If you truly do want to work in the Bay Area and with emerging/innovative companies, you should just take whichever firm you like better this summer, and then aim for WSGR/Cooley/Fenwick during OCI.

Yeah, I don't see the OP working at either firm during 2L summer or after so it kind of doesn't matterAnonymous User wrote:Pretty much everyone would agree that P,W is a stronger firm in NYC than Sidley.

I would pretty much disregard firm pitches on things like collegiality
I'd probably just roll with Paul Weiss assuming that one is more likely to give an offer (that might not be true though, the OP should do some digging there)
