Any other information you can provide as to what you’re looking for? Specific litigation areas you’re interested in? More free-market/unassigned versus assigned? Want to specialize or be a generalist for a while? Want to stay in SF for a while? Any additional info you can provide will be helpfulAnonymous User wrote:Would welcome any advice for deciding between the three. All SF litigation.
Latham has an open floorplan??? What fresh hell is this? I thought I left that life behind at my old careerAnonymous User wrote:You won't have an office at Latham sf ( completely open floorplan), so keep that in mind.

I cancelled my callback there so I never saw the office in person. Honestly that's wild they have an open floorpan, it's impossible to have confidential phone calls in that kind of environment and it's so difficult to focus to get work done.Anonymous User wrote:I believe you get an interior office as a second year (not sure, I work in a different latham office, but I know for a fact that my classmates in SF still do not have offices). I'm frankly impressed they managed it hide it from you guys at interviews. If you are curious about what they look like, ask to see the 19th floor if and when you do your touchbacks.
Isn't this just a summer (not when you join as associate)? Anything else to bear in mind between these firms beyond floor plans? (lol)Anonymous User wrote:You won't have an office at Latham sf ( completely open floorplan), so keep that in mind.
If that is what they told you, you have been lied to. The first years sit in a completely open floorplan.Anonymous User wrote:Isn't this just a summer (not when you join as associate)?

Co-signing that SF LW first years sit in an open floor plan, but I'm surprised they didn't move them out when the summers started. That's what they did when I was there (at LW but not that office).Anonymous User wrote:I believe you get an interior office as a second year (not sure, I work in a different latham office, but I know for a fact that my classmates in SF still do not have offices).

Assuming you are the OP - it’s kinda hard to give you advice when you won’t provide any other info of what you’re looking forAnonymous User wrote:Isn't this just a summer (not when you join as associate)?
