DPW (NY) v. PW (NY) for White Collar>AUSA
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2020 6:20 pm
Do folks have thoughts between the two in terms of practice opportunities, AUSA pipeline, and culture?
I have offers from both. I want to primarily work in white-collar defense and investigations before hopefully getting an AUSA position. It seems like DPW's white-collar practice is mostly in DC but has a solid practice in NY too. Paul, Weiss seems to have a larger practice, at least in NY, and a more laidback/extroverted culture.
I am also interested in politics later on and know PW is very active in fundraising, but this seems negligible at my level.
Compensation and hours seem about the same?
