Texas Update?

Kirkland
Skadden
Winston
Quinn Emanuel
Weil

I believe those are all the TX offices that have made the righteous jump. Still awaiting a major TX-based firm. As of yet, not everything is bigger in TX.

Don't forget STB!

Ah--that's right. The Kirkland match (and their recent poaching in Houston) should be enough motivation to cause a response by TX-based firms.

Are they poaching midlevels and seniors only or any juniors? Incoming first-year at a Texas-based firm that almost certainly won't match...

All classes across the board.

It's kosher, I assume, if you're a clerk who's accepted an offer at a firm in ny/DC tbag doesn't match, to explore other options in lieu of returning to make substantially less than others who are similarly situated ?

This is pretty much what Quinn was counting on anyway

mercifully they won't have to window shop at burberry et al for much longer. no top-end fashion designer is going to share building space with a second-rate law firm.

No worries, market matching hero firm CLEARY is moving into a brand newer building, and there's retail space available.

Stay with the times bro. Vidalia stopped lunch service a while ago after they couldn't get any plates out in less than four hours. So in this scenario, I think the Cov associates will be more pleased with their lunch (sry for ruining the narrative)

. . . Covington should not be able to hold onto this ranking. Next time associates get the vault survey request (and next time rising 2Ls choose firms) they need to make it clear what happens when you screw your associates.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

cap was kind enough to share his data and some interesting metrics.

some interesting things so far:

for the most part, these are the players you'd expect. if you'd look at the PPP standings, we've heard from everyone in 1-20 except:

WLRK (lol)
GDC (shame!)
Boies (shame!)
Latham (shame!)
BuckleySandler (do they hire entry level associates?)
and Willkie.

With Weil coming in as the least profitable of the very-profitable group, PPP ranges from above 6MM (lol WLRK), to 2.5MM.

We also have two hero firms punching way above weight. Cooley and Winston are both in the 1.9-1.8MM PPP range and still signed up for this.

In terms of who is giving up the most (and who will be hurt), PW and Cleary are the movers who will take the biggest hit so far, but there's not much to support that Cravath did this to spite its close competitors: the salary move will cost CSM more than all but PW, DPW, Cleary and Weil.

but, if we include those who haven't moved, it'll also cost more for Cadwalader, White and Case, Orrick, DLA Pipe, K&L Gates, and squire patton boggs to match than it did for Cravath to set.

In terms of firms we've talked about to shame, the PPP hit for Munger would only be about 27k. Compare that to Cadwalader who takes a 150k PPP hit, dropping their PPP by 7.25%.

[smaug]

i should also note that the lockstep difference here is significant.

we know that the CSM partnership is sharing the pain here.

How that will play out at CWT or DLA Piper will be realllly interesting.
