Dumb question re: Simpson Thacher

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:56 am

This is a dumb question to the point where I sort of want the mods to delete/lock it once there's been an answer.

Does STB hire lateral lawyers? It's weird because I go on the website and it says to just email someone to inquire. Just seems weird and unconventional whereas the default is some job listings that give you a good sense of what positions are available.

Somewhat dumb question, but yes, STB hires laterals.

OP here.

So... do you just email them and say hey, uh you got any capital markets openings? lol.

I actually work across the table with some STB folks and I think they've seen I'm competent and well liked by the client. Not sure if I can somehow leverage that <shrug>.

I'm an STB lateral. My team has quite a few laterals. I found out about it through a recruiter, but no idea if/where it was posted publicly. The firm offers referral bonuses also, so it's really not a delicate topic.

Interesting! What year did you lateral at? And did you lateral into a niche practice group?

For what it's worth, I'm a junior & have heard cap markets is crazy busy. Obviously not privy to lateral hiring info but I would be surprised if we weren't hiring.
