I've been slow in March. But I also had a crazy Jan-Feb, so I've kind of been just enjoying it and not searching for new work. Might regret it if the rest of the year ends up being slow, lol.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI.

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

Any thoughts on McKool Smith? Considering lateral opportunity to IP Litigation group (Dallas office) as mid-level associate.

Where do they stand today (in terms of work flow/quality, associate opportunities, culture, quality of life, etc.)?
