Leaked: 2017 Vault Rankings

I got a peak at an advanced copy of the 2017 Vault Law 100, as well as the regional rankings for Northern California, Boston, and Miami. There are some major shakeups this year. A couple of long-established V10 firms have fallen into the V15, and the lower part of the V30 looks completely different. Also, there's a new #1 in Boston.
Please do not quote.

I'm going to assume they let CovingTTTon continue thinking they're presTTTigous.

Those of you hoping for a Covingttton fall will be disappointed. Remember that the surveys were distributed before the move to 180.
As for "winners," I worry about getting too specific, but I'll just say the biggest move up within the V15 was from a firm with a comma in its name. As for losers, there was a firm that I thought would never leave the V30 that tumbled nine spots and now is V40. It's rare to see that kind of fall in the Vault rankings...I'm not sure what happened.

Any shakeups between 16-20.

That's what happens when you hire known assholes from other firms -- your vault ranking skyrockets.

Can you tell us anything about said tumbling firm, punctuation-wise?

Any further hint about the declining firm (as in Vault rankings)?

Do you mean the V30 firm that tanked? Again, I don't feel comfortable getting too specific. I'll just note that the firm's headquarters are not in NYC.

It depends on how you define "shakeups," but, yes, firms in that range moved up and down. One is now V15 and one is now V25.

This is a big deal. Can you imagine being the people who picked that V30 firm? Now, they're at a V40. Their life is pretty much over.

Ok so the firm that moved up is Paul, Weiss and the firms that moved down are CGSH, Weil, and/or Latham.

I can't believe I'm joining in this. If there's a new number one in Boston, that would mean that Ropes passed Wilmer. Also, Wilmer would be the more likely candidate for a tumble as their corporate group got raided by Latham a few years ago and hasn't fully recovered.
