Any views on what the vibe is? Do people generally like working there?

Well, these chambers rankings for this group are barely a year old, which makes sense given how young of a product private credit is. I like proskaeur a lot in other contexts (their sports group is well regarded) but you asked for my opinion on their private credit practice and my experience is that I don't see them very often on deals. I see STB, Paul Weiss (Apollo) and K&E a lot more than any other firm named in that list (besides Akin, who pops up occasionally).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2024 6:11 pmOP here. That’s surprising to me. Can you elaborate?

Are you like in-house at a mid-market PC firm that mainly does assignments or in a creditor side private credit group? You named mostly borrower focused shops. Proskauer has a very strong market share in UMM private credit (DPW and Latham have edged it out on mega-unitranches) and private credit is likely their strongest group.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 3:29 pmWell, these chambers rankings for this group are barely a year old, which makes sense given how young of a product private credit is.

Echoing the last response above. I don't know what the first anon is talking about. Speaking from bias, as I work at Proskauer (not in PC, but a tangential group and we work together frequently), but the PC group is extremely well-regarded and busy and is probably the fastest growing practice at the firm, and I've always enjoyed working with everyone I've interacted with over thereAnonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 7:47 pmAre you like in-house at a mid-market PC firm that mainly does assignments or in a creditor side private credit group?
