Lehotsky Keller
I noticed that seemingly overnight Lehotsky Keller is up to eleven attorneys, almost the size of Consovoy McCarthy and Cooper & Kirk. It seems like they've given early equity and of-counsel positions when recruiting. I'm not conservative so I'm not looking to move there or anything, but it's pretty interesting. Can the market really sustain three remote-oriented boutiques with identical specialties in conservative regulatory challenges, state representation, etc.? Do these firms pay anywhere near market?

Re: Lehotsky Keller
Anon for obvious reasons. Yes they pay near market. And it does seem quite clear that the market can sustain them. You can’t hire eight people in eight months if the work isn’t there. Even “conservative” law firms are refusing more and more work that could appear right-leaning. Money is driving those decisions, as it ever has. But BIG clients are increasingly likely to question affiliations that could blow back on them, thus the space that LK and others are occupying. Same thing is happening to some extent on the left, see Elias Law Group. But there is no shortage of work for places like LK and the others you mentioned. If anything, I would expect to see more places like this spring up.
