Bay Area: DPW vs STB vs Cooley vs Fenwick
Of these four firms, which one would you pick for corporate work in the Bay? I know firms like Cooley and Fenwick have long been considered among the strongest players in the Bay, but these days it feels like they might offer less job security as opposed to a V10 satellite. I have no major practice area preference, exit options and job security are the most important factors to me.

Do you want to work in tech or Vc/startups? Cooley/Fenwick. Litigation? Cooley. Want to go in house with a big F500 type eventually? DPW/STB.
(This is all Bay Area specific advice).

This seems pretty accurate imo as someone else in the Bay. In the short term I would personally pick Fenwick over Cooley right now.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 11:36 pmDo you want to work in tech or Vc/startups? Cooley/Fenwick. Litigation? Cooley.

Anecdotally I’ve heard STB SV is miserable. But it’s anecdotal.
