Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2014 1:50 pm
The partners fled to MoLew. Are the associates all going with, or is it everyman for himself.

How many associates are there now?Anonymous User wrote:Apparently about 300-400 will go to Morgan. The rest are probably mostly fired, though some will stay with the other partners who are leaving for other firms or forming their own small firms.

7. Staff will be kept on or let go in stages.

Bingham has been hurting for a while. I'd be surprised if they were recruiting large classes.shifty_eyed wrote:I wonder what their offer rate will be though.North wrote:QFP. Surprised by #8.

Did Bingham take that many summers? You'd think they'd keep the class pretty small given the looming shitshow.shifty_eyed wrote:I wonder what their offer rate will be though.North wrote:QFP.

There are only 34 associates starting next year. That is roughly 1.5 associates for every 10 new partners. That isn't a high ratio at all.Cogburn87 wrote:flawschoolkid wrote:Morgan just copped like $100M in Bingham's liabilities.
