Vault 2011 Law Firm Rankings
Only the North American version has been released so far but two magic circle firms made it into the top 30…
This is what you need to know about it:
“more than 15,000 law associates rated law firms on a scale of 1 to 10 based on prestige”
And added a few defining comments…
The lucky two were:
Clifford Chance 29
• “Best non-U.S. firm in the U.S.”
• “Nice bunch from across the pond”
• “Global behemoth”
• “Big and disorganized”
Linklaters 30
• “Busy and global with good work-life balance”
• “Strong but can be arrogant”
• “Tremendous global reputation”
• “Unstable”
With the others not far behind…
