Received offers at these three firms and am primarily interested in transactional practice areas.
I know FF has a recognized strength in real estate, whereas Shearman and W&C have much more of an international presence. I'm wondering whether anyone has any insight to share.

In terms of 2016 deal volume, White & Case and Shearman clearly surpass FF:
