I think I'm gonna have to take Fish & Richardson here. Just a very potent combination.

NYAssociate wrote:Regarding Finnegan, it's just stuff I've been hearing around. An obvious factor is that it's not that well diversified, given how focused it is on IP, which could create problems (and apparently has) in the event of a downturn. Unless you're working at a litigation boutique, I think it's always better to be part of a practice group at a full service firm, as there are opportunities to bill hours in related areas if you can't find work, and thus opportunities to avoid getting laid off.

From ATL
Finnegan freezes and slashes salaries: http://abovethelaw.com/2009/10/whats-go ... henderson/
Finnegan promotes only 4 to equity partnership: http://abovethelaw.com/2009/11/new-part ... p-for-you/
Finnegan no-offers half of its 2009 summer class: http://abovethelaw.com/2009/10/whats-go ... henderson/

LOL if you think F&R and Finnegan are "sinking ships," then you either (1) must work at WLRK or (2) are a bitter idiot who probably got Lathamed (and does nothing but troll ATL from the couch) and is just bashing every firm while unemployed.

ITE, OP should be proud and enthusiastic about his/her CB with either firm. Good luck OP.
