I was hoping to start a thread on which firms recruit from their VS or TC, as I am trying to figure out if it is worth it for me to apply to some direct TCs
If there is already a comprehensive thread detailing this then please let me know! And also if any of the info is incorrect, then also please let me know!
Firms that recruit solely from VS:
Akin Gump (but sometimes look at direct TC apps)
Clyde & Co
CMS
Davis Polk & Wardwell
Dechert
Gateley
Gowling WLG
Herbert Smith Freehills
Jones Day
Kirkland and Ellis (but sometimes look at direct TC apps)
Milbank
Mischon de Reya
Ropes & Gray
Shearman & Sterling
Taylor Wessing
Vinson & Elkins (but sometimes look at direct TC apps)
Predominantly from VS:
Addleshaw Goddard
Baker Mckenzie
Bird and Bird
Debevoise & Plimpton
Dentons
Eversheds Sutherland
Gibson Dunn & Crutcher
HFW
Linklaters
Mayer Brown
Memery Crystal
Mills & Reeve
Pinsent Masons
Simmons & Simmons
Skadden
Squire Patton Boggs
Significant recruitment not from VS:
Allen & Overy
