Avoid Sidley Tax NY. They hire associates with no intention of developing them. Can't speak for the other two

I think ropes has a strong tax practice, but it makes (or used to make) associates split time between tax and benefits for the first 3 years.

All I know is that, in general, of the associates at these three firms who I’ve spoken to, the folks a Debevoise always strike me as incredibly sharp. I can’t say the same for the other two, although I’d put Sidley above Ropes.

Ropes tax associate here. Official split is 2 years, but I only did a couple benefits projects (and no benefits in my second year). I’m biased but I’m glad I chose Ropes.
