Based on office overlap, I'm assuming one of Austin / Boston / NYC.
If Austin, I'd choose WSGR, given that Gunderson's Austin office consists of 11 people total. If NYC, I'd choose Gunderson. If Boston, I'd choose WSGR for life sciences and Gunderson for VC.
Because my sense is that WSGR NY does less EC/VC work (and more cap markets, securities, etc) compared to Gunderson NY.lawyerwhiskeybacon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 11:12 amWhy would you take Gunderson in NYC?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 6:38 pm

which office and/or practice group?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 3:03 pmAnon because I work at WSGR - wouldn't join WSGR right now, appears to be very little work and that will likely get worse when the new first years join.
If Boston, don’t take WSGR.

Yep, I think they intended for it to be bigger, but it’s just not an office making any significant inroads in BostonAnonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 5:19 pmIf Boston, don’t take WSGR.
