L.A. is the firm's red-headed stepchild - Associate Attorney Morgan Lewis Employee Review

Such dysfunctional local leadership in L.A.'s labor & employment group. Bizarre behavior by partners tolerated at a very high level of management. If you do not mesh with the quirks of these partners, you are gone within months. High turnover among lawyers. For the most part, the ones who stayed on have terrible personalities, but there are certain exceptions. Also, the Death Star in Philly will only RARELY mint a new partner in L.A., so don't go in there thinking you will eventually make partner, because strong odds are that you will not. In fact, you'd be lucky to get out of there in anything other than a pine box.
