DC lateral market
I'm a soon-to-be 4th year litigation associate in the DC satellite office of a V50 firm. I'm scoping out lateral opportunities. What are some good firms to consider? Ultimately, I'd like to make partner somewhere in DC, and I don't particularly care whether it's biglaw, midlaw, boutique, etc.

Re: DC lateral market
hard to tell without knowing your stats. the only really insightful information i've gotten is from friends on the inside of the various firms. do you have a specialty within lit? do you have a recruiter?

Re: DC lateral market
OP here. HYS grad who did a COA clerkship. I've been to trial, briefed several appeals, briefed motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, Daubert motions, white collar sentencing submissions, etc.
I don't have a specialty, and I don't have a recruiter. I am leery of using a recruiter.
