Gibson is going to be better in antitrust, labor & employment, construction, white collar, commercial lit, and securities. The only thing PW is better at is appellate litigation, assuming you were chosen to work directly with Kannon, which isn't too likely. Although it's possible to get some work with him if you really want. But I don't think you could make a practice out of it. Otherwise, Gibson has a much deeper bench of star appellate litigators and it's easier to work in the group.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 10:14 amCan someone provide a practice-level breakdown?

Pretty sure Gibson represented Apple, and Cravath represented Epic, no?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 9:34 amGibson is going to be better in antitrust, labor & employment, construction, white collar, commercial lit, and securities.

This isn't to disparage PW's DC office. They do good work, and get a lot of interesting cases - I think they just worked on the Apple-Epic case. But the office is quite small, and a lot of their work is outsourced from the NY office.
