Cleary NY vs. Freshfields NY/SV
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2021 10:39 pm
Created an account to ask for help on this one for 2L summer.
I am interested in litigation, and potentially white collar defense. Thinking about trying to get into a USAO after a couple years.
This would be an easier decision but for that I didn't particularly enjoy talking to any of the Cleary interviewers, whereas I had a good time with the Freshfields attorneys.
Freshfields has also been selling me hard on their growth, and the greater opportunities for juniors they claim will result from that, and I have to admit it's been getting to me. However, an attorney friend of a friend just told me that Freshfields DC is miserable and that there's not much work. I know that on names, connections, and prestige alone, Cleary looks more appetizing for getting into USAOs.
I would be grateful for your advice.
