[QUOTE="Romiras, post: 31308, member: 1993"] Very few firms see IP as their main driver. You're right on litigation, but a lot of firms see their disputes practice as important (although perhaps less profitable as compared to Corp/Fin). I guess the point is, if you're in an interview and you justify that HL is similar to Baker McKenzie or Norton Rose Fulbright, or that Slaughter and May (which equally has a strong disputes, corporate and finance practice) could be lumped into the same group as the other firms, you will likely find yourself in a tough spot. I think you'll need to find a more nuanced approach in terms of your answer to that particular question, one that goes beyond seeing firms that are 'streamlined', as you have clarified, but rather as firms that have specific market or sector focuses.
