Choate
The head of the IP group at Choate is a truly decent guy, though his group is somewhat cliquish (sp?); those outside the clique (or, even worse, those in the "other" IP clique, the IP litigators clique) can be somewhat isolated.
Many (if not all) of the true corporate/tech folks are also good folks and generally trustworthy. Associates turn over much more quickly than other places, though, which can affect continuity of services.
That having been said, watch out for the IP litigation folks, and beware the non-techie/ non-venture corporate types. The firm culture as a whole is decidedly Hobbesian. If the firm goes down, it will not go down for economic reasons, and these guys have been fighting with each other for so long along the way, I'd be surprised if they hadn't come to enough of an accomodatiion to keep the firm together.
(Editted to respond more precisely to client instead of associate concerns).
