S&C

Does anyone know about S&C's reputation in Asia? I know the offices are much smaller and the practice areas are not as highly ranked on Chambers as the domestic offices. I'd greatly appreciate any insight on the quality of S&C's Asia practice and whether it would be worth it to choose them over lower-ranked firms in the US. Thanks!

Do you want to practice in the U.S., or in Asia? That's a big factor here.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable about SullCrom's Asia practice, but I can tell you that S&C is the best of the best. You can't go wrong with SullCrom. Congrats on having such a great opportunity!

You can absolutely go wrong with Sullivan & Cromwell

I used to work in their NYC office as an associate. I can't speak to their Asia practice specifically but I've seen a fair number of transfers from there to the NYC office so that's something worth considering as an exit option if you don't like it there. Especially since S&C has an incredibly strong U.S. practice.

Did those people start at US offices originally?

Anyone care to explain "you can absolutely go wrong with Sullivan & Cromwell"?
