Paul, Weiss v. Davis Polk v. S&C - Employment Litigation Forum

[Anonymous User]

I was curious whether Paul, Weiss, Davis Polk or Sullivan & Cromwell does best with respect to employment litigation work. Any other v20s that are strong in this area?

Ex-PW. We do internal investigations work for our clients which sometimes includes employment issues (harassment, etc). We have one NY partner who does employment work (Liza Velazquez) and the website suggests we do more than I thought we did, but it's hardly a focus.

I don't know what you mean by "does best" but I think that if you're serious about practicing employment you should look elsewhere. None of the firms you suggested are even ranked on Chambers for employment law.

I agree with anonymous reply above. These are all top flight firms, just not places I’d go if I was solely interested in employment litigation and wanted to train under top practitioners in that space.

These firms don't do a lot of employment work. Of the firms in the V20 I would suggest Gibson or Jones Day if you want to focus on employment litigation.

if you want to focus on employment litigation.

This being key. Why you would want to do employment litigation, I don't know.

Interestingly, Paul, Weiss is representing DPW in an employment litigation trial that is going on right now about the discriminatory termination of a DPW associate. But no one represents themselves.
