NYC Lateral Litigation Associate - Covington v Akin v Latham

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jan 29, 2016 1:08 pm

Hi guys,

Super fortunate to have offers to work at these three places as a junior lateral. I am interested in white collar litigation with an aim to work for the government several years from now (DOJ/AUSA/SEC), although I would also like to have some commercial litigation matters on my plate. I really liked the people I met at both places, especially Covington and Latham. I am a bit worried about working in an NYC office for a DC firm, like Covington or Akin, but I am not sure whether this is a valid concern (I am lateraling from a traditional NYC-based firm).

Any thoughts will be appreciated!

Hey guys, OP here. Thanks to those who voted. Still have some time to decide. I have narrowed it down between Covington and Latham now. Any insights on either firm would be very helpful. Thanks again!
