A Message from Paul | Weiss
Dear Class of 2021,
As a partner in the Litigation Department of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP’s New York office and as a Washington University School of Law alumnus, I wanted to send you a quick note providing some background information on Paul, Weiss in advance of the opening of the Resume Collection application period on June 1, 2019.
Paul, Weiss is a firm of more than 1,000 lawyers with diverse backgrounds, personalities, ideas and interests who provide innovative and effective solutions to complex legal and business challenges. Our summer associates enhance their professional skills by attending trials, depositions, closings and client meetings, and also have the opportunity to experience the best of summer in New York City — from sailing around Manhattan to Yankees games, Shakespeare in the Park and a firmwide reception at MoMA.
Our preeminent Litigation Department has won countless recognitions for its unparalleled bench of seasoned trial lawyers. We have been at the epicenter of nearly every major financial upheaval of the past decade and on the front lines of many of the major litigations of our time, and we are the go-to firm for unprecedented “bet the company” litigations that defy easy solutions. Our Corporate Department works with some of the world’s best-known companies on M&A deals featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, and with the world’s largest private equity firms on their groundbreaking transactions. And we have been listed on The American Lawyer’s “A-List” 15 times since its inception in 2003.
