I haven't come across Lexygen until recently on a salary thread here. Is this law firm any good to work with?The partner seems transparent about how much they pay their associates, the firms location is beautiful. Everything seems perfect. Should I apply to work with their Gen Corp team?

Lexygen does some really good deals in the VC/PE/M&A space. If you look them up on twitter or linkedin you will see that they are hiring.

I hope this helps.

Toxic. Enough said. Remember the last time your manager called your team your family and then you eventually realized all the rich family members backstabbed you. But then you were glad you actually have an actual family. If you are a fan of deja vu, go for it.

Hi, I found this thread very useful while making my decision, and had verified the same with few working at lexygen at that point. Hope it helps you!

I had also applied and interviewed. Considering the inability to retain fee earners despite being a botique firm, it's apparent that there's no motivation or appreciation factoring in. Heard it's much more hierarchical than other firms and you end up working on all days. May as well go with tier 1 where there's transparency on work culture / expectations and no facade on pay. Hope this helps you!

I can say from first-hand experience (I used to work there and left for personal reasons) that most of the negative stuff written above is rubbish. Lexygen has great work and most of the people there are really nice and helpful folks. The last thing anyone can say about them is that they're toxic! It's very sad that this firm and the good people there are being unfairly targeted by some people with vested agendas.

OP, if you are genuinely considering Lexygen I would suggest that you don't listen to these baseless comments. Apply to them and figure out for yourselves what you think of the firm and then decide. I'm not saying everything is perfect but it is surely one of the better options today in the market if you want to do PE/VC and M&A.
