I have an offer from ST in LA and a few other callbacks from other firms. I was wondering if anyone here has an inside scoop on the culture, work hours, or type of work that Simpson does in LA?
I asked many questions during the interview, spoke to associates, and done heavy research. But I'd always trust you guys for honesty because I feel the firm will never be upfront.
Thank you for the help!

Do you want lit or corporate? They are a small office obviously, so the range of work is a lot narrower than you would get at a big firm.Anonymous User wrote:I have an offer from ST in LA and a few other callbacks from other firms.

Re: Simpson Thatcher LA
Also you're right, because it's a small office I was hoping someone would know the exact type of deals they predominantly work on? I'd suck if they say they do heavy entertainment work but actually mostly do business M&A etc

Re: Simpson Thatcher LA
My understanding is that they do mostly business M&A with a lot of clients of the same clients as the NY office, but I'd look at the partner bios to see who their clients were for deals they doAnonymous User wrote:Also you're right, because it's a small office I was hoping someone would know the exact type of deals they predominantly work on?

Re: Simpson Thatcher LA
Probably not what you're looking for, but I did a doc review project there a couple of years ago.
It was a beautiful office, nice staff, and the firm attorneys treated us respectfully. So I'd say it's a positive work environment.
The attorneys mostly worked 8am-ish to 5pm-ish, although a few morning when I came in, and M&A team was leaving after pulling all-nighters.
I don't really know what type of deals they work on; I was hired for a second request.
Good luck!
