Desmarais LLP NY vs. Quinn Emanuel SV

Post by Anonymous User » Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:28 pm

Hello law friends,

My background is in Electrical Engineering and I want to be a litigator. I am fortunate enough to have offers at DLLP NY and QE SV.

Any thoughts on which firm you'd choose and why?

Do you really want to do plaintiff side IPL? If you're not 100% sure I would pick Desmarais, which does a bit of both. Desmarais comp is way better than almost everywhere else, so unless you vibed better with Quinn (read: I want to wear sandals to work) there's really no reason to pick them over Desmarais. You will work a lot at both, and hours have been the only complaint I've heard about Desmarais.

I don't believe Desmarais is above market anymore.

Even if they aren't above on base, their bonuses are much better than Quinn's.
