Hello! I know there are a lot of these posts right now but I really appreciate any input. Anything I've seen about Willkie or Fried Frank has been about an interest in corporate or a specific interest in real estate, neither of which apply to me.
I'm interested in general litigation in DC. I'm pretty sure I'm not interested in white collar investigations, but other than that I'm very open to practice areas and so I'm looking for a firm that provides a good variety within their litigation practice. I think real estate could be cool but I see that as a small plus and not anything that I would base my decision off of. As long as I can do legal research and writing on a variety of legal topics, I'd be pretty happy. I really liked people at both firms but vibed a bit better with Willkie. I like that Willkie has no cap on pro bono but FF allows 300 pro bono hours and I doubt I'd go over that so I'm not sure the "no cap" at Willkie really matters.
I'd really appreciate any input. Is there anything else I should be considering? Are the firms basically the same? Thanks!

Willkie's DC office is very litigation-focused, whereas FF's office doesn't do too much litigation. I'd go with Willkie.
