Not big law

Very respectable and talented group. In addition to appeals, they handle a lot of critical motions that support other litigation groups.

It’s not big law. Many of the lawyers are good people and horrid bosses. The pay is crap and the turnover is super high.

I hear their compensation is pretty standard for insurance defense. I don’t know specifics for the appellate group, but I would guess it’s probably about $100k to $110k for a first year and then extrapolate from there. I do know the WLB is supposedly fantastic and way better than their competitors (Brown Sims and Lewis Brisbois) that have slightly higher pay but terrible hours.

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.
