If a major corporation is involved in a front page dispute, chances are that this firm is handling the defense. The full service law firm is ultimately all about trial work, enticing hungry young associates from top law schools to join their offices. In Washington DC, you can be guaranteed that the serious fellow in the conference room is the CEO of a major corporation, although associates will spend a few years in the library before they get to meet him. Support staff, compensation, and office environment are all top of the line. The training program and relatively speedy partnership track are an added bonus as well.
