拿了年终奖就跳槽？ 2018排名最高的外所你要去哪家？

最近很多朋友在知乎上讨论拿了年终奖就跳槽是不是合适的问题，看来大家对于各个老东家一直颇有怨言， 都各自准备着换个新东家继续抱怨了。

去一家排名高，待遇好，妥妥有18万美金的外所岂不是美滋滋，想想小编都觉得要走上人生巅峰，秒秒钟就是要迎娶范冰冰的节奏。

年关将至，小编就在这里带大家一起盘点一下2018年， Vault排名最高的那些律所们吧。

排名前五的依然是这五家万年不变的顶级律所了。

其中长期盘踞第一的Cravath更是用自己的薪水制度决定了整个美国Big Law法律市场的薪资水平。来看看vault对它的介绍：“Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP has been known as one of the nation's pre-eminent law firms for nearly 200 years. With industry-leading practices on both the litigation and corporate sides and stand-out teams in M&A, capital markets, banking and credit, and corporate governance, Cravath has played a central role in developing not only how law is practiced, but also how lawyers are trained. Although the firm has only two offices and a relatively concentrated list of services, it has the unqualified esteem of its peers.”

来来来，跟小编一起膜拜一下Cravath的薪资体系：

不过小编觉得你们家是不是要换个网站设计师了。。。。

第二名的则是，也许是美国最厉害的公司法律所的Wachtell，这个没有分所的神级律所仅仅用了几十年时间就成了这个领域的网站，真是尝尽了一人我饮酒醉的滋味。

有趣的是Wachtell这个律所的名称发音经常会成为一个迷，很多人发成“watch”“tell”，“手表说？”，这其实是不对的，因为这个名字里并没有watch中的t，正确的发音应该接近于Wok tell。

作为一个律师合伙人一比一，人均创收最高的律所，Wachtell的一年级律师工资甚至比其他律所还要多，但这些都是小钱，因为进了wachtell，不当par就没必要出来。

跟前两位高山流水比，Skadden就接地气很多，并在全球各大城市都有办公室。来看看Vault的评价

“Kind of like Oprah or Beyoncé, Skadden is a giant among mortals. Known by its one name, it sits atop its world, continuously topping the AmLaw 100 as one of the most profitable law firms. It was the first law firm to report $1 billion in annual revenue-now an industry brass ring. But it's not just about the money or numbers-Skadden consistently draws top accolades from the most esteemed rankings: Chambers, The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, and the Financial Times. The firm also gets regular annual kudos from industry-specific publications-such as Corporate Board Member's ranking of "America's Best Corporate Law Firms"-and overseas rankings”

Skadden在这些地方都有办公室：

New York, NY (HQ) • Boston, MA • Chicago, IL • Houston, TX • Los Angeles, CA • Palo Alto, CA • Washington, DC • Wilmington, DE Beijing • Brussels • Frankfurt • Hong Kong • London • Moscow • Munich • Paris • São Paulo • Seoul • Shanghai • Singapore • Tokyo • Toronto

Sullivan Cromwell在律所里似乎总是扮演着一个尖子生的角色，这一点从它对于法学院学生成绩的执着要求就可见一般。

“A BigLaw powerhouse, Sullivan & Cromwell has been ranked in the AmLaw 100 since the rankings began in the 1980s and is a regular player on The American Lawyer's elite A-List. The firm is well-thought of among the greenhorns as well as the old-timers-it consistently appears at the top of associate polls for the draw of big-money clients and its generous benefits.

S&C has followed-if not created-the blueprint for legal success: it has grown internationally and in response to the increasing cross-border M&A, restructuring and finance transactional demands of the biggest corporate clients in the world.”

Sullivan的历史也是非常强大了。

Sullivan & Cromwell has consistently steered the development of many of the world's corporate titans over the past 130-plus years. Founding fathers Algernon Sydney Sullivan and William Nelson Cromwell wasted no time in elevating the firm to elite status, advising J.P. Morgan-as in the man himself-during the creation of Edison General Electric in 1882 and later guiding key players in the formation of U.S. Steel and the financing of the Panama Canal.

During the 1950s, S&C's litigation group successfully defended five of the largest investment banking firms in the nation against antitrust charges filed by the federal government. Meanwhile, the general practice group dealt with the complexities of increasingly large public stock offerings, handling Ford Motor Co.'s $643 million IPO in 1956, the largest ever at that time. S&C reopened its Paris office-closed during World War II-in 1962 and opened a London office in 1972. The firm picked up its international pursuits again in the 1980s and hasn't slowed since, opening offices in Asia, Australia, and Europe and becoming one of the preeminent M&A shops on the planet along the way.

More recently, the firm drew on its financial services and restructuring prowess when it played a central role in dealing with the subprime and financial implosions in 2007 and 2008. Throughout the crisis, S&C maintained its compensation levels for associates and did not engage in a program of layoffs, defer incoming associate classes, or shorten its summer program. S&C seized upon the transactional wreckage of 2008 to build its reputation as, in the words of The American Lawyer, "the go-to firm for the financial services industry." After the storm cleared, its global reach served the firm well as it continued to build on its trans-Atlantic finance, restructuring, and M&A work.

The Best at Doing… Everything

S&C is known for its "generalist approach" to both professional development and client service. In contrast to the rotation systems found at many firms, S&C associates are exposed to a broad range of matters across subgroups, industries, and geographic location (a substantial number of S&C's clients are non-U.S. commercial enterprises and government entities). Associate development partners in each group ensure that junior lawyers and summer associates receive a balanced level of work as well as a mix of assignments that is customized to each individual's interests and goals.

达维也是一家百年老店，非常经典的华尔街律所了：

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, founded in New York City more than 160 years ago, has finance in its DNA. The firm boasts one of the nation's best and most comprehensive corporate departments, with impressive teams in capital markets, M&A, bankruptcy, and tax. Its highly-regarded litigation practice-which includes a top-notch white-collar criminal defense team-also has deep roots: in his long career, name partner John Davis argued more than 250 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
