[QUOTE="D, post: 36873, member: 540"] Late to the party here! I would pick Freshfields if the following are important to you: - More variety in your TC - Excellence in both Corporate [B]and [/B]Litigious work In my view - This is really what makes FF stand out in the MC. I didn't apply to LL so my knowledge of the firm is restricted to an open day in the basement of their Barbican office. Something anecdotally to consider - FF were the first MC firm to raise their pay to £100k, and did so as they (allegedly) saw the value in upping pay to recruit the best candidates. LL on the other hand not only were the last firm to match the £100k, but they did so kicking and screaming, with the managing partner essentially claiming they had been pressganged into it as all of the other firms have followed suit. Personally? This spoke volumes to me. While I appreciate it is PR, I just thought, this is not the place I want to work. One last point - The new office for FF looks gorgeous! You'll have much longer to wait at LL for that :) Personally? Go with your gut. Training at either firm is going to give you limitless possibilities in the future. You'll be able to lateral without issue. You will have great training. Congratulations, and hopefully I'll get to see you in the Bishopsgate office soon along with [USER=1160]@Alice G[/USER] :D [/QUOTE]
