on

The Career Center, powered by Lateral Link, saw record numbers of users in July, and a new firm is at the top of the charts in the ATL-LL Top 20. With hiring picking up and on-campus recruiting getting underway, we wanted to remind you about all the useful information that we have compiled over on the Career Center. In each firm snapshot you will find information about compensation, billable hours, facetime and vacation policies, pro bono work, partnership prospects, benefits and the overall associate experience. In addition, in the coming weeks we will be adding new information about the summer program based on our survey of 2009 Summer Associates (you can still add your two cents, by clicking here).
Now on to the ATL-LL Top 20 — the most requested firms from the across the nation for the month of July.
Taking the crown for July is: Davis Polk & Wardwell. No doubt the news of Davis Polks recent (website) facelift boosted your curiosity about the quality of life for all those hard workin’ hotties.
In the number two spot, crowd favorite Skadden Arps — but this month Skadden trails far behind Davis Polk.
Coming in third, DLA Piper, a firm that made headlines in July when it changed up its summer program, pulled out of Duke, and cut over 100 people from its payroll.
Rounding out the top 20 are some regular fan favorites and some new names. Check them out, after the jump.
