Pros
DL has slick marketing and files attention-grabbing cases.
Cons
The firm doesn't have enough associates or paralegals to properly handle those cases and is top heavy with partners because it expanded too much too fast. The partners treat associates as expendable or fungible despite any unique skills. Success seems to be based on face time in the office because, despite having people located all over the nation, remote work is prohibited and frowned upon even in emergencies. A named partner bullies everyone with his terrible temper and drove all good staff to quit. Any promised focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion seemed more quota driven than values driven based on how junior women and other employees of color were neglected without clear paths for growth. Associates have been told to tone down their personalities or to laugh off sexual harassment. DL markets that it cares about people, but clearly only cares about prestige and profits.
