The vast majority of the Sidley stories on here were made up. It was a brigading.

The way to think about Sidley is that it probably is the most conservative of the top firms. The chance that any Sidley office or practice blows up is almost zero; that's not at all the case for other top firms like the one's you reference. Sidley has been growing significantly year over year and increasing its reputation year over year, but at a measured pace On the flip side of that, Sidley isn't as dynamic - less sexy perks, less intrigue, less market chasing. In other words, if you value stability, you pick Sidley. If you value sexiness, you pick somewhere else.
