#1 Gig in Miami? Forum

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 8:55 pm

My friends were having an argument over drinks about this. I was wondering if you could settle it.

What do you guys think the #1 gig in Miami is for a graduating law student?

(Part of the bet is that I can't reveal our respective choices, but I will at the end...)

Thanks!

This isn't possible straight out of law school. They don't take graduates.

GT
Boies Schiller
Podhurst
Colson Hicks
Weil

Anyone else?

That'll teach you to appropriately narrow your scope.

There are occasionally entry level AUSA positions, I believe. Presumably in less desirable districts than S.D. Fla., but still.

Ok, but since the thread is Miami specific, that is a nice but irrelevant fact.

I would fear death from Columbian drug cartel. Might want to take that into account.

Weil 160K plus bonus
Podhurst ????????
Colson ????????
H&K 125K plus bonus

6 votes is kind of pathetic. C'mon people! Both our opinions are up in the poll. Settle this for us!

Isn't market in Miami 130? Do any of them start at 160? Not that pay is the deciding factor, but it's a consideration.

Edit: Sorry just saw above post about pay. Fail. Should start reading threads before posting.

I think the answer has to incorporate what this said law student wants to do. If they want to stay in florida long term i think the florida-based firms like GT are probably the best route. However if they want to do NY work or go elsewhere eventually, then a firm like weil or boies makes more sense.
