Latham has incredible KM, training series and tech. The drawback is that if you know what group you want to be in - you might get stuck for a deal or two in a group you have no interest in. You'll be exposed to work/groups that you didn't even know existed. You can be on a complex commercial litigation team and an M&A team at the same time.

But, I think the unassigned program is unique in that you can try out anything. I know Simpson has a rotational program, and that can work. Other: Consider this my plug for Latham - the unassigned program is fantastic if you don't know what you're interested in. I'd need more details regarding what practice area you're interested in to help here.ģ. I believe capm and m&a are a wash, although many will probably consider Simpson's capm group stronger (probably because they do more IPO and issuer work than high yield/bank representation). I would think Simpson has a stronger funds formation group whereas Latham's finance groups are stronger. Personally, I think this is dependent on practice groups. However, you'll still find people, including on this forum, that hold Simpson in higher esteem than Latham. I believe that is quietly changing and both firms do a wide range of high-level corporate work.

Work: In terms of sophisticated work/training, when I started, Simpson was definitely considered better than Latham. Latham is probably a bit more "broey" than Simpson.Ģ. Neither have a reputation for difficult personalities/screamers. They're both very large so you'll find your fit in either. I don't think anyone knew or cared whether I was in the office at Latham ever. Simpson cares about facetime and is more conservative (little c) than Latham. Culture: Simpson is more old-school than Latham. Here are what I perceive as the differences between the two firms (again, caveat that I do not have direct experience working at Simpson):ġ. I haven't worked at Simpson, but I have friends that did/do work there. I worked at Latham NY and absolutely loved it.
