International Tax for MNC Firm, Not Just Big Law

I worked at an international law firm that was part of another legal group (a large US corporation). They used ELKINS attorneys who were very good but not top notch by any means - so it is hard to recommend them unless you need someone local or cheap. We had some issues which we resolved quickly over email. Nothing major though just typical corporate stuff like signing off contracts etc. I had an opportunity at work working closely within EMEA tax department during my tenure there where we…

Pros
  • Worked with really nice people
  • High quality research, great attention paid; as well excellent support from senior associates.
  • Some colleagues are truly exceptional in their field
Cons
  • Minor Issues

Very good experience with outstanding attorney's job

I worked at V&E during my undergrad years so it was nice having familiar faces around me when moving back home! My only dislike is that there were not many female attorneys working out here (which is why i chose this place). It could just be because their office wasn't very big but either way you will find someone who fits your personality well if you're looking specifically for one person or both genders can work together effectively without any problems/issues arising between each other. I am

Pros
  • fast response from clients' feedback, efficient in solving major concerns related cases

International Firm with Strong Ties & Technology

I had worked at other law firms prior to joining V&E but this was my first time working at an international firm that has such strong ties to the US market. It is very difficult to find partners who understand your culture when you work overseas. There were many benefits including great compensation and training opportunities. I would say one thing about V&E is their ability to adapt quickly to new markets and technology changes. They also provide excellent customer service which we found…

Pros
  • The office environment
  • Compensation+ perks
  • Training for young associates
Cons
  • Very few local peers/colleagues

Vinson & Elkins - Worked for them several months

I enjoyed working there at first because it gave me something different every day; however after about 3 years my manager took credit away off projects that he thought were bad but turned out not too (or any). It left everyone confused and we had no good project reports anymore just excuses! Our work was now all mixed up together so people started getting lazy or worse still slacking when things should take longer than normal time frame - this is what happened most during those times where you…

Pros
  • Helpful lawyers, friendly environment
  • Great office layout for conference rooms as well meeting areas
Cons
  • So-so

Excellent experience as far dealing services goes

Great team to deal with. Good knowledge about the markets they are in. Flexibility for meetings and appointments. Good understanding of the markets and the business. I've dealt with them in the past and they have been very good. They are a part of a global team that also includes other V&E offices. Nothing at all! We have previously worked with other V&Es and we also have worked with this particular one. Nothing. I worked at this law firm during my summer internship. They were very professional

Pros
  • The environment within office building has many positive aspects such as having ample room space where employees can do their job without feeling crowded or cramped by others around him/her; being able walk down halls between departments while learning new things along the way not too far away from your destination but still close enough when needing assistance quickly (ease); easy accessibility through elevators located near each floor's main
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...
